fullcreen = fullboth yields undesirable behavior

[Tom Tromey]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I recently wrote an elisp program which resized a frame using the size
parameter 'fullscreen' with a value of 'fullboth'.

This resized the frame to fill the entire screen.  The window manager
frame was not visible, and the Gnome panel was obscured.

Reading the docs, I can see how this is probably the planned behavior.
However, I was expecting it to act more like maximizing the window
using the window manager (where the window manager frame and the panel
would remain visible).  I couldn't think of a situation where I would
want the current behavior.

Gtk provides an API, gtk_window_maximize, which I think Emacs should
use and which I think should provide my desired behavior.  If changing
'fullboth' is undesirable, perhaps a new value for 'fullscreen' could
be added.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/22.0.990/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
