If I skimmed the thread correctly, the Lisp solutions led to some
"flickering" -- i.e., first we show the frame maximised with a title
bar, and then the callback hook is called, and then we remove the title
bar.  So asking the WM to do it all in one operation seemed attractive.
But when that doesn't even work, then the in-Lisp solution seems like
the only option.

(Note that I haven't actually tested the Lisp solution.)
