Hi Thomas,
so what is the difference between options "+maximized" and "-maximized"?
The behaviour is different: one maximizes, the other not,
but the descriptions in the man page are exactly the same.
I still think the word "not" should be added to the description of "+maximized"
to match the behaviour of this option.
Regards,
Paul
