No, it's fullscreen. In KDE (4.1) it's rightklick on window decoration
-> Advanced -> [X] at Fullscreen. In stumpwm (a tiling window manager,
where all windows are maximized anyway) it's the `fullscreen' command.

Nope, there are no such things anymore.

So how do those commands achive that? Fake that request? And who
serves it? I've thought the window manager, but in that case there's no
reason that the application has to request the fullscreen mode.
