Well, the only time clicking the maximize button would make the window 
*smaller* (AFAIK) would be if the window was *already* maximized before 
the maximize button was clicked - it would restore the window to its 
previous, un-maximized size. The only other thing I can think of is 
that your monitor is set to 1024x768 and the width you're getting is 
not 1024 but something smaller; this would be caused by the fact that 
Rev applies a margin around the edges of the screen and above the task 
bar/dock when it sets the windowBoundingRect. If that's the case, then 
manually setting the windowBoundingRect to the full screen size before 
you deal with this window should take care of it.
