The engine initializes the windowBoundingRect to be the full size of the main display less these trimmings. The Rev IDE changes it to also account for its toolbar, which your app can do also if it needs to support a toolbar.

It is a bit amusing that Rev reduces the vertical size of a maximized app so that the toolbar can be visible. The toolbar is obscured almost all of the time by the myriad of mis-managed windows when run under Windows. This token effort to keep things looking good is useless. Until the messy way that all of the Rev windows are managed, under Windows at least, any other ameliorative efforts are worthless. If Rev managed <alt><tab> behavior correctly (the way people switch between applications under Windows) then the application could be correctly maximized without a problem. At the moment, the fact that Rev applications do not function as every other Windows application functions can only be viewed as a bug by anyone who uses Windows software.

What should the desired behavior be?

I was unable to find a discussion about handling maximizing properly in a quick glance at the Win HIG. Your guidance on where I can find that would be much appreciated.
