I think that makes sense, but I'm not sure just how we would deprecate
something like that.  We could introduce a `maximized' parameter and use
it in preference of `fullscreen', and add some special code to issue a
(run-time?) deprecation warning...  but I'm not sure the effort (on our
part) and pain (for the users) would be worth it.

Anybody got any opinions here?
