Public bug reported:

My netbook has a small screen, so when loading gnome-control-center (or
sometimes ccsm), it opens a maximized window. On the appearance pane,
when dragging the "Launcher Icon Size" slider, while the icons in the
launcher resize, the window resizes as well, jumping left and right and
pulling the slider with it, so the icon sizes oscillate back and forth.
(This happens when changing the size in ccsm as well, but since it uses
a scale button instead, it is a bit easier to resize).

On my desktop with a larger monitor, it is more difficult to reproduce,
since the window isn't maximized, so doesn't move around at all when
resizing, however if you load a maximized app (I used chromium-browser
in my experiments) in the background and then open gnome-control-center
in the foreground, while dragging the slider back and forth you can see
similar behavior.

This is with the Launcher always visible (the default).

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open a maximized app (if using a decently sized monitor)
2) Open gnome-control-center and click Appearance
3) Drag the "Launcher Icon size" slider back and forth a bit
4) Notice the maximized window jumping around quite a bit while resizing
