I'm completely lost now:

(1) What is the maximize button and how do I (de-)select it?  Here, I
    have three buttons on the top right corner of my frame and they are
    always either selected or invisible - the latter when in fullscreen
    mode (F11).

(2) With emacs -Q `toggle-frame-fullscreen' gets me a full screen frame,
    nothing covered and no buttons visible.

(3) `toggle-frame-maximized' (which I've just seen for the first time)
    gets me a maximized frame with decorations.  This looks nice but I
    never found another application here which does such a thing.  All
    (Firefox, Thunderbird) have the decorations (outer frame borders)
    turned off when I send them a maximize request and so does Emacs
    when I click its maximize button.

So disregarding (F11) fullscreen mode, we currently have two types of
maximized frames on Windows - one with outer borders and one without,
and apparently only the former has its frame parameter set.

Can someone please enlighten me here?
