Once a VIO window has been resized, each subsequent invocation of the
window is automatically put in the maximised state. Restoring down to
non-maximised does absolutely nothing unless you re-maximise it, then
it will shoot the window to the top left of the screen. Restore down
again and the window returns to the position you put it with the shift
+drag operation. Restore down from maximised, close the window then re-
open it, it will open again in the maximised state. Restoring down
each time you open a window is a bit tedious besides it does nothing
for the position of the window when re-appearing from a PM app.
