Methods to always maximize `emacs` (for example, from Alt+F2 in MATE), without the slightly
distracting visual effect when the default frame size is growing to fullscreen. The window will be
maximized quickly, like "emacs --maximize".

I'm not sure I understand the need for these methods.  Doesn't F11 do
this job on all GUI subsystems we support?

And if you are talking about starting with a maximized frame, then why
aren't "emacs --maximize" and/or X resources (and their Registry
emulation on MS-Windows) good enough?

IOW, before describing your suggested solutions, and for the FAQ on
top of that, could you please describe the problem in more details,
specifically for each GUI environment/toolkit where you see a problem?
Please read the mail in this thread with subject: "Re: Solution to a proposed FAQ, how to maximize emacs quickly (like `emacs --maximize`) for GNU/Linux - Improved solution by Chad: ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el" to understand, so I don't need to re-send it.
