I don't know, as I don't use nzbs that often.  I'd guess it's a bug, but 
that's for someone else to confirm.

I'd say this probably falls somewhere in the interaction between the 
various windowing control levels, generic X window types, modified by 
application toolkit chosen (pan and gnome are based on gtk, kde is based 
on qt) and desktop environment in general (GNOME/KDE/whatever), modified 
by window manager (kwin/metacity/sawfish/whatever), modified by theme/
style you've chosen, and finally modified by user customized settings if 
exposed by the choices at the various levels.

FWIW I'm using KDE/kwin here, and both the main window and tasks window 
look and behave about the same, with the exception of the main window 
settings I've customized thru kde/kwin's specific window settings 
(maximized both horizontally and vertically, and on a my dedicated "news" 
desktop, all three settings set to apply initially).  Both are "normal 
windows" according to the window behavior detection dialog, etc.  Thus, 
given I don't see it here, I'd guess the behavior you noted is probably 
environment/wm/theme/settings specific.

All that may not be of much use, but FWIW in case it is...
