xfwm4 restore on move - patch

[Olivier Fourdan]

Ori,

I think the patch needs a bit more work because it doesn't work very
well with the Alt+Click move of windows. 

To try, maximize a window and use Alt+Click to move it instead of the
titlebar, the window quickly toggle between maximized and un-maximized
state at every mouse move...

Cheers,
Olivier.
