It is, in fact if you are running a window manager under X11 it's the
only way to do it. The window manager will simply clip the client's
window to what it has decided to allow.
The problem is that there are many options regarding what "maximize"
means:
1. Is it in response to the user (eg, clicking a maximize button on
the frame) or the client (eg, obeying a "start me maximized"
resource)?
2. Which dimensions are maximized (horizontal, vertical, both)?
3. Are window decorations maintained for the maximized window?
4. Are window and session manager widgets (panel, taskbar, etc)
allowed to be covered?
Distinction (1) is essential to usability; you need to be able to do
both. Many users don't care so much about flexibility in areas (2),
(3), and (4), but others do. One of the projects of freedesktop.org
(somebody referred to that as "fd.o") is to provide a standard
protocol for any client and window manager that allows all of these
parameters to be set in a flexible way.
