Comment(by T(A)ILS developers):

 This solution would be acceptable for Tails, but:

 1. Shouldn't the user be warned against any form of resizing and not only
 maximizing?
 2. We'd rather see the old "prevent resizing but to multiples of NxM"
 functionality back.
 3. Alternative proposal:
    - build a list of well-spread maximized sizes (e.g. Windows 7 on
 1280x800 display, etc.)
    - allow maximizing to them
    - if maximize doesn't end up using one of those well-spread sizes,
 maximize to the biggest possible one of these when asked to maximize
    - always warn when resizing
