Nope.  Ha ha ha.  Imagine a UI Computer Scientist who doesn't recognize
a maximize button!  <grin>

Hm.  I'll rebuild my OB3 from the latest sources.  At least for now this
section of my file:

<keybind key="W-A-KP_4">
  <action name="GrowToEdgeWest"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-A-KP_6">
  <action name="GrowToEdgeEast"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-A-KP_8">
  <action name="GrowToEdgeNorth"/>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-A-KP_2">
  <action name="GrowToEdgeSouth"/>
</keybind>

does not resize windows as per my suggestion, though I may just have a
buggy CVS or something.  I'll post later.
