I wasn't able to get it to behave in the same way, but the following may work:

Style gThumb NoPPosition, InitialMapCommand Resize 20 20

The motivation for NoPPosition is so it wont be able to move itself to
it's remembered position at 0 0 when it was fullscreen and as for the
Resize you'd probably want to pick a different value.
