'maximized' is a WM concept, usually has an API and pretty well defined
semantics there (show a title bar with the corresponding indicator, do
not show the outer borders, cover the entire working area) and has
little or nothing to do with the other values (except that they are
mutually exclusive). So the proposed renaming would be misguided IMHO.
