Bug Description
running Windows XP, Inkscape rev 10450, it appears that any Python message report, even just an inkex.errormsg status report, will cause the Python message window to open in a maximized state. This is extremely annoying, since it makes it almost impossible to determine what the source of the message was.

Reproduced on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (i386) with GTK+/Quartz backend (luckily does not happen with the GTK+/X11 backend)
The change was recently implemented in r10427.

Agreeing about the annoyance: the extension message dialog (console output from the script) is used by many extensions to provide a short sentence or information to the user (i.e. does not necessarily contain an error message with long lines for debugging purposes). The change should have been implemented as hidden option which extension developers can enable if really needed. IMHO though no error message dialog should ever default to maximized state, thus burrying/hiding all other information/windows beneath it. At least, please make this optional (AFAIU it would not be easy to implement two different kind of dialogs to allow feedback from extension scripts).
