No pressing it twice doesn't work. What happens is that it 'jumps' a bit but
returns to it's normal position. This also happens with the emacs-snapshot
too as you mention below.
I've paste a screenshot at the following url (I don't know if i can create
attachments).

You can see that it's aligned to the upper left corner of my screen but it
won't fully maximize vertically or horizontally.
