Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
I am using freeciv 2-1-3 (hardy) backported to ubuntu Gutsy.  I have done the backport myself and I only backported the freeciv source package, therefore using Gutsy's Gnome and GTK environment

When I try to maximize the Freeciv 2-1-3 window the maximize button seems to be ignored, I can only resize the window manually horizontally but not vertically.

As a result, on a 1024x768 resolution, I cannot see all the chatting and message area below unless I move the window with Alt+Mouse (hiding the main menu above).  I cannot make the map area appear smaller to make more room for the message area neither.

This behaviour does not appear in gutsy's KDE (3.5.8 I think) and neither with freeciv-2.0-9 in Gnome gutsy's native version.

It might be a Gnome/GTK transition issue but I would like to see if there is other solution than backporting Gnome/Gtk from hardy (which I am beginning to consider).  I will of course end-up upgrading the whole distribution to hardy but I cannot do this in the forecoming days for other reasons.

Thanks for any hints or help on this.
