Let me try to recapitulate: The problem is what to do when saving and
restoring a maximized frame.  We can't get the location/size it had
before maximizing it easily, so Juanma's proposal goes as follows.

(1) Create the frame _ignoring_ the saved size/location related frame
    parameters.

(2) Ask the window manager to maximize the frame.

When the user now demaximizes the frame, it will appear at its default
location with a default size.  Does this match what you stated above?
