Yes indeed it is a different problem, I've dug deeper and found the 
cause, I've attached a test-case.
The problem is that gtk's window-state-event signals aren't being fired 
when a window maximizes or minimizes.
The correct behavior in the test-case, is that 'test' will be printed 
twice, once on startup, once when the user maximizes the window, and 
once when the user minimizes the window.
