Well, I suspect that the application is expecting to find one of:

_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT

or:

_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ

... when we maximise the window.  Alas, there is no generic
_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED which would be useful -- we only have
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN which is of course completely different.

Furthermore, unless the application explicitly requests a style of either
veritical or horizontal maximisation, FVWM won't set it as it (apparently)
doesn't make sense to do so for FVWM.
