Hi,

I applied the patch named `maximize_and_trace.diff` and built Emacs --with-ns.  I was surprised to see that `toggle-frame-maximized` actually worked, which is something I had never seen before on OSX.

My standard stuff that I normally use appears to be working okay -- e.g., `default-frame-alist` with pixel specifications for height/width and courier font are working correctly.

Great to hear!
 
I'm not a programmer, but I'd be happy to run some layman's tests (if you need) on the build with OSX 10.6.8.

Please do! I'm on 10.9, so it won't hurt to run things on another version of the OS.

If you don't find anything, I'll post this patch to emacs-devel, and if no one objects, I will commit it.
