Currently I do nothing to take into account the maximized property so  
it isn't too complicated :-) I do what Jacque does and just restore  
the stack to it's last size every time. The examples I provided were  
of some typical Windows applications and showed scenarios that we  
have a difficult time duplicating without using externals. I haven't  
finished implementing this behavior in my framework yet though it is  
on a to-do list somewhere...

If I understand correctly he would still need a maximize property/ 
command (or external). To behave like IE or Firefox when the users  
closes a stack window that was maximzed you would need to:

1) set the rect of the window to the last size the user had it set to.
2) set the 'maximized' property of the window.
