Simple un/mapping a window should not loose its properties. Sure it's not destroyed?
(Otherwise some client, in doubt the WindowManager) would erase them)

The restorage geometry is handled by the window manager internally.
You'd have to store the geometry before the window gets maximized and on "unmapping" (actually re-creation?) first set that geometry for  the unmaximized window and then set the maximization state (so the WM once saw the proper old geometry)

But again: for actual un/mapping this should no way be required.
