Bug Description

Windows that set size hints like gnome-terminal can have awkward space around their borders when they are semi-maximized, which makes them look out of place

I see a regression here:
- Open a terminal
- Grab it by the menu bar and drag it to the right side of the screen
The resulting window is not resizeable by discrete steps, even after un-snapping.

And another, more bizarre case:
- Open a terminal
- Drag its right border to the right side of the screen
The grid plugin overlay rectangle will appear (as if the window was being dragged instead of resized [!]). And if you release the mouse button at that point, the terminal will (1) keep its original size/position, and (2) stop being resizeable by discrete steps too. This didn't happen before, and I'm guessing this is a regression caused by the fix to this bug.
