Subject: Re: fullcreen = fullboth yields undesirable behavior

Fullscreen on Gnome is done as specified by the extended window manager hints.
Thst is, Emacs just tells the window manager, "make me
fullscreen/height/width", and the windowmanager does what it sees fit.
However, you can request fullscreen or fullwidth+height. These may be
interpreted differently by the window manager, even if the spec says it should
not.

gtk_window_maximize does what Emacs already does. It can't be used when Emacs
is not compiled with Gtk+, so there is no point in doing so.
