After a little bit of testing, I can confirm that it happens with every
app. I have a 1920x1080 monitor resolution and conky running on the right
side of the desktop (260px wide). I killed conky to make sure it's not
involved somehow.
I set gedit to cover the entire desktop, starting from the left edge and
leaving ~330px from the right (window width ~1590px). After maximizing and
unmaximizing it, it becomes 1717px. If the original window width is larger
than ~1730px, when it is restored it becomes either 1717px or something
smaller than it originally was. The same thing happens with gnome-terminal,
seamonkey, bluefish, gnucash and just about every other app I tried.
Do I file this against mutter?

Should I file a bug, when I don't have a way to reproduce this behavior?

So these icons will remain in the message tray or will they be moved to the
top bar notification area?

was problematic since F19, mail notification and solaar icons were 48x48 in
F20, easystroke's icon was visible in F20 (same package version as
currently in F21), dropbox and spideroak were at 22x22 (I think). Do I
bother the maintainers, or do I leave them be?

I'm not sure about that one, so I'm dropping it.
