Actually, upon thinging about this further, I realized that my method is 
doing something slightly different than your proposal.  Mine is assigning 
keys to resize a frame to the amount of space available to that frame 
using the already built in get_max_size function, which is possibly different
then then screen size.  (if you have a complex frame layout).  

Having said that, and having played with it in such complex frame layouts, I 
realize, I might have some bugs to work out.
