Yes, I know this problem. The application does not tell the wm that it does not want to be maximized. It simply assumes that setting min size = max size is equivalent, but it's not in fvwm. I'm not sure if the EWMH provides a "do not maximize" hint. In general it's not a good idea to add some heuristics to guess if an application wants to maximizable or not. A while ago I extended the concept of the maximized state to a secondary geometry that is not necessarily related to the window size. (See MoveMaximize command et. al.). I'd say it's better to let the user choose if (s)he maximizes the window or not.
