Switch to another virtual desktop after unmaximizing a windows (Firefox, dconf-editor), and then return to the previous virtual desktop. Firefox becomes maximized again. How do I stop it???

I've tried setting Desktop > Unity > 'Form Factor' to desktop as suggested in Prevent Unity from auto-maximizing

I've also tried stuff from How to keep programs from launching maximized?, in particular: gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows -t bool false

None of that works.

Please read the question before marking it as a duplicate.
Please don't suggest CCSM, this is Unity2d.

After 

gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows -t bool false

subsequently

gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows

returned 

false

and the auto-maximize stopped occuring after log out-log in. (Ubuntu 11.10 Unity2D)

I had exactly the problem described and setting /apps/metacity/general/auto_maximize_windows to false worked for me! (11.10 [Oneiric] with Unity2D)
