I personally set up a variety of shortcuts for window behaviour, e.g. ALT+F6
is always set to shade in GNOME and KDE and ALT+F7 is minimise. You can do
something similar to make "maximize" a stroke away. This gives flexibility.

True. Perhaps that can be disabled within the individual applications though.

The profile 'remembers' window geometry too? I never realised that...
