Please describe the problem:
i usually bind alt-f10 to toggle maximize, and then i set either alt-shift-f10
or alt-f11 to maximize vertical.  quite regularly i find that the maximize
vertical keystroke ends up executing a full maximize.  but if i then use the
maximize toggle key, it goes back the maximize vertical state--so it's as if the
maximize verical key is somehow doing a maximize vertical, followed by a toggle
maximize.  while this tends to happen more often than not, every now and then,
it works as it should.  but i have yet to work out what was different.  i've
seen this happen with gnome 2.10 in gentoo, fedora core 4 and ubuntu, so i've
decided it's probably not a distribution issue.

Steps to reproduce:
1. assign a keystroke for maximize vertical
2. use that keystroke for different apps like gnome-terminal and firefox


Actual results:
more often than not, the result is as if i did maximize full, not maximize vertical.

Expected results:
maximize vertical

Does this happen every time?
no, but more often than not.

Other information:
see bug 113601 for the request to have a maximize vertical (and horizontal)
toggle.  also, it would be really really nice, if you could middle click on on
the maximize button to get the maximize vertical (and right click for maximize
horizontal).  almost every other window manager has that, and it's very useful
when you normally drive with the mouse.
