Unmaximizing windows can sometimes vanish #68

When moving a maximized window between pages or screens, FVWM records the previous geometry of the unmaximized window, so it can restore correctly. However, this doesn't work well when the maximized window itself has moved between screens or different pages, since the unmaximized geometry from the point of view of the maximized window is now incorrect. Subsequently, unmaximizing a window will put that window in to the ether. For now, the approach is to make unmaximizing a window imply MoveToScreen (relative to the window's screen) such that it remains visible, and should largely do what the user expects. Fixes #68
