Duh, you're right Juanma. (I should have deferred my reply to Martin
until after sleeping :).)
Therefore, I think that the questions now are: if these ("maximized to
left/right") are special states of a window, could Emacs keep track of
them? And if so, could Emacs DTRT (i.e. avoid the gaps) when they are
active?
