* emacs.c (USAGE3, standard_args): Add -mm and --maximized. * frame.c: Qmaximized is new. (x_set_frame_parameters): Do not handle fullscreen specially. Only set width and height if explicitly set. (x_set_fullscreen): Handle Qmaximized. (x_set_font, x_figure_window_size): Do not handle fullscreen specially. (syms_of_frame): Initialize Qmaximized. * frame.h (fullscreen_type): Add FULLSCREEN_MAXIMIZED. Declare Qfullwidth, Qfullheight, Qfullboth, Qmaximized. * xterm.c (handle_one_xevent): Remove call to x_check_fullscreen for Expose event. Add call to x_check_fullscreen for MapNotify event. Remove all code w.r.t. fullscreen from ConfigureNotify event. Do not set gravity to NorthWestGravity when USE_GTK. (set_wm_state): New function. (do_ewmh_fullscreen): Use set_wm_state. Also handle FULLSCREEN_MAXIMIZED. (x_handle_net_wm_state): Handle FULLSCREEN_MAXIMIZED. (x_check_fullscreen): Simplify so we only handle EMWH type of fullscreen or the case when no window manager is running. That means remove calls to x_real_positions and x_fullscreen_adjust. * gtkutil.c (flush_and_sync, x_wm_size_hint_off): Remove. (xg_frame_set_char_size): Remove calls to x_wm_size_hint_off and flush_and_sync. (xg_height_changed): New function. (xg_create_frame_widgets): Remove call to gtk_widget_set_size_request and gtk_window_set_policy. Set frame gravity after parsing the geometry string. (xg_update_frame_menubar, free_frame_menubar) (xg_tool_bar_detach_callback, xg_tool_bar_attach_callback) (update_frame_tool_bar, free_frame_tool_bar): Call xg_height_changed. Remove calls to xg_frame_set_char_size. * startup.el (command-line-x-option-alist): Add -mm and --maximized. * NEWS: Mention maximized. * frames.texi (Size Parameters): Mention maximized for fullscreen. * xresources.texi (Table of Resources): Mention maximized for fullscreen. * cmdargs.texi (Window Size X): -mm/--maximized is new.

	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS

If this is the first time you go through it, you'll need to configure
before bootstrapping:

  $ ./configure

Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
instead of just "make":

  $ cvs update -dP
  $ make bootstrap

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
update.  "make" should work in 90% of the cases and be much quicker.

  $ make

(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)

Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" (and similar automatically
generated files, such as esh-groups.el, and *-loaddefs.el in some
subdirectories of lisp/, e.g. mh-e/ and calendar/) will need to be
updated to reflect new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors (rather
than warnings) about undefined lisp functions during compilation, that
may be the reason.  Another symptom may be an error saying that
"loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is due to a change in the way
loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should only happen once, for users
that are updating old CVS trees.  Finally, sometimes there can be build
failures related to *loaddefs.el (e.g. "required feature `esh-groups'
was not provided").  In that case, follow the instructions below.

To update loaddefs.el (and similar files), do:

  $ cd lisp
  $ make autoloads

If either of the above partial procedures fails, try "make bootstrap".

Very occasionally changes in the source can introduce
incompatibilities with previous builds.  If a bootstrap fails, as a
last resort try "make maintainer-clean" before configuring and
bootstrapping again.  If CPU time is not an issue, the most thorough
way to rebuild, and avoid any spurious problems, is always to use this
method.

Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
applicable to those systems as well.

Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs
should be sent to [e-mail] rather than gnu.emacs.help
or gnu.emacs.bug.  Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will
send it to the proper place.

Because the CVS version of Emacs is a work in progress, it will
sometimes fail to build.  Please wait a day or so (and check the bug
and development mailing list archives) before reporting such problems.
In most cases, the problem is known about and is just waiting for
someone to fix it.


Note on using SSH to access the CVS repository from inside Emacs
----------------------------------------------------------------

Write access to the CVS repository requires using SSH v2.

If you execute cvs commands inside Emacs, specifically if you use
pcl-cvs, output from CVS may be lost due to a problem in the
interface between ssh, cvs, and libc.  Corrupted checkins are
also known to have happened.

To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
executable, and set CVS_RSH to the file name of the script:

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
exec ssh "$@"

This may be combined with the following entry in ~/.ssh/config to
simplify accessing the CVS repository:

Host subversions.gnu.org
     Protocol 2
     ForwardX11 no
     User YOUR_USERID
