Toggle horizontal/vertical maximize behaviour

[Ilya Schurov]

Hi there,

I'm trying to switch to ion3 from ion2 now due to distro upgrade.
(Actually, I'm happy with ion2 for now, but can't compile it under
Ubuntu 8.10.) There's a problem which can be reproduced in stable ion3
(from 0install feed).

I'm always have some sort of auxiliary frames which are typically
minimized when i work in main frame. From time to time I need to restore
their size into e.g. 1/4 of the screen, do to something with them and
minimize them again. In ion2 it was done by ALT+K-V either in the main
frame (which de-maximized it) or in the auxiliary frame (which
de-minimized it). It is generally works in ion3 too. However, sometimes
auxiliary frames get minimized to zero height and stop reacting on any
resize commands. (E.g. I see only tab heading, but if I switch to that
heading and try to do ALT+K-V or even ALT+R-N, there's no reaction.) The
only way to unshrink it is to resize main frame.

Is it a bug or a feature? :)
