Public bug reported: How to reproduce the symptom:
#Nautilus (Maximized) Steps: 1. Open nautilus. 2. Maximize it. 3. Open "Preference" dialog box. 4. Drag it. Observe: Nautilus' window becomes small and moves with the "Preference" dialog box. #Nautilus (Un-maximized) 1. Open nautilus. 2. Un-maximize it, or keep it un-maximized. 3. Open "Preference" dialog box. 4. Drag it. Observe: Nautilus' window keeps the size, but moves with the "Preference" dialog box. #gnome-terminal and gnome-mines The same thing happens with these two as well. This could well happen with any other application as well; these are just a two of the three that I happened to test.
