Thanks.
It looks like gnome-shell is generally doing the right thing. It notices
an app is trying to place itself over the full screen and accepts that
as a old-style fullscreen request. Nothing unusual there. Gnome Shell is
behaving correctly for a window manager.
The only problem here is that there's no way to escape (restore and
resize) such automatic fullscreening in gnome-shell. But also I think
that's normal. I'm not aware of any window managers that do offer that.
So I don't think it's reasonable to ask for a gnome-shell enhancement to
work around this problem. It's Spotify's fault for firstly suggesting it
wants to be fullscreen and then not remembering that it requested
fullscreen.
