Title:
  vim-gnome window does not resize correctly when opening the 1st tab

Status in Vi IMproved:
  New
Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “vim” package in Debian:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim-gnome

  Problem:
  gvim does not correctly resize the window when the first tab is opened, part of the window becomes hidden behind task panel, thus hiding the :ex command  and status area making it necessary to manually resize the window again.

  Recreate:
      1) launch gvim
      2) expand the window to full size
      3) :tabnew test.txt

  Result:
  The tab is created properly, but the bottom of the window is forced downward, proportionately to the height of the tab, and behind the task panel of the Gnome desktop.

  Expected result:
     gvim should have have shrunk the editing area, not resized the window.
