Maximize gvim at startup

[Mr. Shawn H. Corey]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 on a PowerBook 4 under GNOME. Is there any 
command I can put inn my .gvimrc that will maximize the window at 
startup? I tried:

  :autocmd GUIEnter * simalt <F10>

But simalt does not work in Linux.

I may not know much about GUIs but ever one I read so far has an API 
call that maximizes the window. So, what's the best way to do this?
