The intent is to start x3270 with four sessions on each corner (much
like a 3290). The operator would then want to maximize a screen on
occasion to see it easier.
When I try to maximize the window, I very briefly get a gray block on
the screen where the image might be, then it just drops back to it's
original size with the 3270 session intact.

That's a function of the window manager, not the application (although
the application will need to respond to the appWinResize X event). Which
window manager are they running?
In general, you'll need to map an X keysim to the window manager
"maximize" event. The mouse and/or keyboard focus will indicate the
correct window, and it should be a toggle in the window manager (one
event does maximize, and the same event on a maximized window should
revert to it's previous state).
The real question will be whether x3270 is coded to respond to the
resize event. I don't think it is (and looking at the source seems to
bear that out), so you may not be able to do this. You could probably
start the x3270 session with a window geometry equal to the full screen,
and then minimize it to an icon -- would that be good enough? In that
case, see above advice wrt window manager maximize events.
