[RP] C-tm

There is a new function force_maximize that is a temporary solution
until all the maximize bugs are worked out. it is bound to C-tm. It
will force the app to get a resize event. If xterm is not maximizing
properly, hit C-tm on the window and it will maximize properly. This
can also be used on transient windows such as mozilla's silly 200x200
popup boxes.

The one problem with it right now is that when ratpoison gets a
configure request event (move or resize from the client) it honours
the request, then immediately maximizes it with the maximize
function. This is no problem for normal windows, but if you've hit
C-tm on a transient window and then the client resizes the transient
window (take a look at netscapes moronic preferences popup) it will
honour the request setting ratpoison's internal x,y,width, and height
then maximize it. The standard maximize function always honours a
transient window's size and as a result it undoes your forced
maximize. 

A solution for this problem could be to not honour the request and
just maximize the bastard which would get rid of the above problem (if
you're wondering why, read some source). Buuuut of course this could
break some apps or who knows what.
