Description Dean Roberts CLA 2011-09-23 14:11:33 EDT 
1) Open a Java perspective
2) Detach the package explorer
3) Open a Debug perspective
4) Switch back to the Java perspective.

Notice that the detached package explorer comes up in its smallest size.

This is a result of a GTK issue that was affecting the restore of minimized stacks; unless the control actually changed size when reparented back to the main presentation the tabs were not being redrawn. The fix was to set the size of the control to (0,0) when it was being reparented to 'limbo' so that it was guaranteed to change size when it was put back.

Shells are, however, not contained in a Composite so there size shouldn't change in either case...fix coming.
