FWIW, the frame-cmds.el code also correctly handles restoring size and position.

It does not do window-mgr maximization, however (which I guess requires C
changes?).  Its "maximizing" uses the available screen space and does not affect
the `Maximize' button of the window mgr.

(BTW, it also lets you maximize/restore only horizontally or only vertically, if
you want.)
