Hi Jan,

The problem reported in this thread is a minor one, of course, but a
related problem is a bit annoying:

When I maximize my Emacs frame (on Windows), after a while (switching
between applications) it ends up a bit resized, so that the spare
space is removed at the expense of having a not-totally-maximized
frame.

I propose the following to resolve this problem and the original one:
When a frame is maximized (or fullscreen), distribute the spare space
evenly among the top/bottom and left/right side.

WDYT?
