[RP] the end to all resize-loop problems

Why not maximize the window ONCE on our own initiative (when its first
mapped), and then only when the user purposely maximises it?
If it didn't accept your maximize the first time, it probably ain't
gonna accept it the second time neither.  This would also allow us to
rip out a lot of special case handling code for transient_for and
related windows.

If a window says it wants to be a certain size, it probably really is
best for it to be that size.  There a lot of broken software out there.
Sucks to accomodate it, but this seems like an easy way to nip these
eternal recurrences of infinite resize-loops in the bud.

Jonathan
