While I love the new maximizing functions, in the process of
developing them the code to keep icons from under the dock was lost.
I have created a patch to prevent this problem.
I realize it's not in the preferred patch format but I have not yet
had a chance to get this machine fully functional. I hope an attached
context diff will be satisfactory as the patch is small. I've also
included it inline for inspection.
