[Mono-list] Strange window maximization behavior on Linux

[LKeene]

Okay, by successively commenting out blocks I've traced the problem to the
following lines:

            this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
            this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
            this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
            this.Update();

I've gotten rid of these and set the properties in the form's partial class
and that seems to have fixed the problem.
