That code never will (never should) put "Maximized"
What the Maximize icon does, on Win, is flip back and forward between 
"normal" size and "full screen" (in Rev, "full screen" is 
"windowBoundingRect", not "screenRect").

SO one time you should see (something like)
  1280,934,256,256
next time
   256,256,1280,934
next time
  1280,934,256,256
etc.

(When I say "never", I mean "almost never" - you could of course re-size 
the window by dragging until it is exactly the same size as it becomes 
when Maximized - then it should say it matched :-)

It works for me on 2.6.1., WinXP and Mac.  - flips between (in my case) 
927 x 674 and 400 x 400.

(Sorry - I haven't been following this thread closely, so if it's 2.7 
specific, then there may be a problem I haven't seen yet).
