Maximize frame does not work at startup

If Emacs is started with

   emacs.exe -Q --eval "(w32-send-sys-command 61488)"

on w32 you may get a frame that is not maximized but whos system buttons (is
that the term?) in the upper left corner indicates that it should be.

This seems to be dependent on the speed of the pc.

I have previously sent in a bug report for this and had some communication
around it (which I do not remember any more) but I wonder if this bug report
was dropped?

I have sent this to Emacs Devel first, but so far no response. I have also
noticed that there is a similar bug if you try to use --fullscreen when
starting Emacs. However in this case the upper right corner icon is not the
"maximized" icon, but the "normal size" icon. The window size is not normal.
It looks like the same size I see below. (Height is not full screen.)

Subject: Maximized frames gets wrong size at startup; cursors
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:22:15 +0100

Hi Jason,

I did report a problem to the developers list about maximizing frames at
startup. They get the wrong size. I triead the following change

*** w32term.c

void
x_set_window_size (f, change_gravity, cols, rows)
     struct frame *f;
     int change_gravity;
     int cols, rows;
{
  int pixelwidth, pixelheight;
  {
    // This tries to avoid setting size if frame is maximized. Is this
correct??? Lennart B.
    WINDOWPLACEMENT wp;
    HWND hwnd;
    hwnd = FRAME_W32_WINDOW (f);
    wp.length = sizeof (WINDOWPLACEMENT);
    GetWindowPlacement (hwnd, &wp);
    if (wp.showCmd == SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED) return;
  }

  BLOCK_INPUT;

  check_frame_size (f, &rows, &cols);
... (the rest is unchanged)

This tests if the frame is maximized and then just exits x_set_window_size.
Maybe there is a better way to do this? I am not at all sure what
x_set_window_size does.

BTW I looked a bit at the code for cursors in w32. It seems to me a lot of
things have been done, but that hourglass cursors are not used on w32. I
suggest that the builtin hourglass cursor is used. What do you think of
that?

Best wishes,
Lennart

I think the changes below should make maximized frames behave better on 
w32. They try to prevent changing the size of a frame that is maximized.

This change remove the bug that a maximized frame does not fit the whole 
screen. It also removes the bug that a maximezed frame can be moved.

At least for me there seems to be no problem now (with these patches) to 
maximize a frame on startup on w32. (But I do not know if these patches 
actually affected that.)

Could someone please try them and check them in?

Subject: -fs hides part of Emacs window behind task bar on w32
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2006 10:12:06 +0100

When starting with

  emacs -Q -fs

the lower part of Emacs may get hidden behind the MS Windows task bar. 
This happens because Emacs window is not really maximized. Unfortunately 
this means that Emacs' minibuffer is not visible.

In GNU Emacs 22.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2006-12-10
X server distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Id:/g/include'

Maximizing and fullscreen frames should work with current trunk as
intended using the fullscreen frame parameter.  Closing this bug.
