In xterm.c, do_ewmh_fullscreen.  I don't know why you say they are 
debatable, it is the only way to correctly make an Emacs frame full 
height or full width or fullscreen or maximized.  It lets the WM do the 
job, so Emacs doesn't need to count pixels and panels and taskbars and 
autohide and whatever.
