Reopened windows don’t keep gaps (open full / off-center on first launch)

[k4nedito]

When I close a window while it’s maximized or tiled with gaps, then reopen it, it doesn’t respect the gaps anymore. It comes back like a normal maximized/tiled window (no gaps, not centered).

Expected: the window should reopen in the same gapped state it had when closed.

Notes:

• Happens on both Xorg and Wayland.

• Might be related to Mutter’s auto-maximize behavior.

• Possibly related to issue Previous Window size is not restored #35

If i have time i will try to push the fix

Looks like there is a pattern:

1. window reopens with gaps
2. window reopens in full screen

and this cycle repeats.
