When opening git-gui from a directory which is a repository, minimize and maximize buttons are showing and functional in git-gui.

However, if I open git-gui in a non-repo directory, git-gui opens a dialog where I can "Create New Repository", "Clone Existing Repository", etc. When a repository is opened from this dialog, the git-gui window does not have minimize and maximize buttons visible.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open git-gui in a non-repository directory
2. Click "Open Existing Repository"
3. Click "Browse" and select an existing repository directory
4. The repository is opened with git-gui, but without
minimize/maximize buttons visible
