Yeah, I'd give that a try. If it doesn't work, you might take a tiny
window manager (like wm2, only 3000 lines of code or so) and modify it to
do what you want.

You can call gdk_screen_width() and gdk_screen_height(), then use
gtk_window_set_usize() and gtk_window_set_uposition() to set the window to
the size of the screen, but this won't be the same as "maximize" under
most window managers - try it and you'll see why. However, it may work
fine if you have no window manager at all.
