== Description: ==
The goal is to package this script for Debian etc, until it's possible to use
Emacs LISP code to maximize Emacs without the visually annoying effect
described below.
* `emacs-gtk --maximize`, or `emacs -mm`, is the only solution I'm aware of
"to avoid the slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs starting with, its
default frame size and then growing to fullscreen".
* Also, Emacs LISP code in .emacs must be avoided to maximize the window (for
example `(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(fullscreen . maximized))`),
because it will not avoid the slightly distracting visual effect, it will only
override `emacs-gtk --maximize` that is preventing it from happening.

Emacs LISP (failed in GNU/Linux, but is useful for Windows)
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq.html#Fullscreen-mode-on-MS_002dWindows
"Beginning with Emacs 24.4 either run Emacs with the ‘--maximized’
command-line option or put the following form in your .emacs file:
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized)
To avoid the slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs starting with
its default frame size and then growing to fullscreen, you can add an
‘Emacs.Geometry’ entry to the Windows registry settings."
I'm not using Emacs for Windows, but I tried this on Windows for the sake of
evaluation and it worked:
(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 0)
(set-frame-size (selected-frame) (display-pixel-width) (display-pixel-height)
t)
I suggested that the above Emacs LISP could be added to
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/efaq.html#Fullscreen-mode-on-MS_002dWindows
(see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2023-04/msg00155.html for
the discussion)
However, it didn't remove the "slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs
starting withits default frame size and then growing to fullscreen" in
GNU/Linux.

Window-matching utility
devilspie2 failed to maximize Emacs
devilspie2 can move emacs to another workspace, but the maximize commands
don't work - https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?63979 (filed by me)
This will always open emacs in maximized mode without the "slightly
distracting visual effect of Emacs starting with, its default frame size and
then growing to fullscreen". From
* $ emacs in terminal -- `which emacs`
* The menu bar (for example in MATE in Trisquel 11)
* "Open With" -> "Emacs (GUI)" in graphical file managers (like caja in
Trisquel)
The BASH script can be used instead of making these configurations in:
Shell
Create an alias that evoles
echo "alias emacs='emacs --maximize'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
GNOME and MATE
The setting affects both the "Open With" entry in the context menu, and
Accessories -> Emacs (GUI)
sudo sed -i "s|Exec=/usr/bin/emacs %F|Exec=/usr/bin/emacs --maximize %F|"
/usr/share/applications/emacs.desktop
== Other Software Required: ==
Emacs
BASH
