Mixing frame resizing triggered by Emacs commands and external tools is

So we'll probably have to use that.  Can you install it?

If you

(set-frame-parameter nil 'undecorated t)

and maximize the frame via some Windows (Aero, IIRC) command, what does

(frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)

report?  With and without the && ~> || change.

And it would still be interesting to understand your earlier finding,
namely that

  If I make this change and follow Dani's recipe from the original bug
  report, the second F11 press doesn't restore the previous state.
  Instead, the frame appears to get slightly smaller for an instant and
  then immediately reverts to fullscreen mode.

That second F11 should set the 'fullscreen parameter to 'maximized so I
fail to see how a subsequent action can restore it to 'fullboth.  In
retrospect, that

		  /* Windows can send us a SIZE_MAXIMIZED message even
		     when fullscreen is fullboth ....

comment apparently matches your experience now but I cannot even recall
based on what experience I added it back then.

Thanks, martin
