It takes effect. I don't like it maximized, though. I just wish it'd stick to the height of the initial frame, which I set with -fh on the command line. I looked up the manual and came up with (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 0.90)) where 90% is about right for me, but this has the side-effect that the initial-frame is not full-height any longer, that is, this undoes the order given by -fh on the command line.
