Well, here on KDE 3.5.7, when I fired up GVIM for the first time, I had 
no trouble MAZIMIZING it - but it would not UNMAXIMIZE. I noticed that 
when it was maximized, there as no little X indicator in front of the 
Mazimize option the way there was when I mazimized Firefox. FF 
unmaximized with no problems ...

Sounds like GVIM.
