I can confirm this problem, as the original  poster described, on an
upgraded Jaunty netbook (upgraded from Intrepid).

The gap at the bottom appears in some programs but not all; OpenOffice,
Nautilus and Synaptic all seem to exhibit the issue.

I have found a workaround:
Open the offending program,
Right-click on the title-bar and select "Unmaximize"
Close the program
Re-open the program --it should maximize itself to the full height of the 
screen now.

This work-around is fine for the short-term, but obviously this is a bug
that should be fixed.  I'd read elsewhere that this was fixed in a newer
version of Metacity, but I can't find any way to install that newer
version (2.26) in Ubuntu.
