The problem is that generally you can't really be sure if you are maximized or
just big.
But with a relative new window manager, there are properties we can look at to
deduce what to do or not do, so we can cover those cases at least (i.e. all
KDE, Gnome, XFCE and some more). I'll see what I can come up with.
