when the feature request was posted in this mailing list the person
said it was called maximus, iirc. So now at least in wmaker it
will be known as Maximus :-)

As a side note, I wanted to code this myself because I liked the
concept, so I would be a user of it. Furthermore, my wife
and I agreed last year that our son will be called Maximus, so I
liked the name of the feature as it was proposed and I would like
that to remain as it is, and capitalized :-)

Indeed, I did not have a decision for that. But I didn't want it to
be minimized to fit in the space, because the feature was about
maximization. So right now if it is initially overlapping another
window, it will ignore that poor window behind it. But if someone
has a strong feeling and want it to be minimized instead, I will gladly
accept patches.

Ops, that was my mistake when I redid the patch to push. I will
fix that now.

Thanks for pointing it out, as I already have the shortcut defined
it would take a long time until I notice that.
