Snapping should not hide titlebars

Description
In gnome-terminal 3.7, maximizing or snapping the window causes the titlebar to hide, similar to other GNOME programs. However, unlike most other programs, the titlebar here was very useful for two reasons:
-
The terminal has almost no elements that would indicate whether the window is focused or not. The titlebar was the most visible one; without it, the only things left are the shade of the scrollbar, and the full/empty cursor.
-
In a terminal, the titlebar also displays useful information such as the current working directory (as well as the hostname for ssh logins). In many cases, this information is only available from the titlebar – such as when watching the logs for a long compile (and the user@host prompt has scrolled away looong ago).
For the two reasons above, removing title bars from snapped or maximized gnome-terminal windows greatly decreases the usability of gnome-terminal, so I'm asking for an exception to be made in the new&shiny "app menus" design. The title bar should be re-added.
