Updated my 7.10 system with all updates as of 8:30 CST 10/8. My system also uses the xorg intel driver and is experiencing a similar issue with maximizing windows. Starting an application that normally runs full screen results in the app appearing to be opened "non-full screen", although the top-right window buttons indicate it should be full screen. Clicking the "restore window" middle-button will cause the window to change position on the screen. At this point the middle button is a "maximize window" button. Pressing it will make the window appear full screen for real. It appears that when initially started, the window is not full-screen but the system thinks it is. Telling the system to un-maximize the window and then maximizing it again fixes the issue. Alternatively, if the full screen app is opened, taking up only some of the screen and centered in the top-left corner, if it is dragged to the middle of the screen, it appears to be come unmaximzed and the middle button changes to "maximize window". Pushing that button at this point will cause the app to fully maximize. My system has this issue with Firefox and gnome-terminal. For OpenOffice 2.3, the window stays un-maximized no matter how many times the maximize button is pressed. This behavior does not occur with Metacity - only Compiz.
