I do not see those margin you talk about and for a good reason: I never use maximized windows. I hate maximized windows. Other people love maximized windows, of course, but many of us just hate them: how do you count how many people is on each camp? Default values are an important discussion point and I started a couple of threads about defaults in the past, but defaults are also an incredible difficult question where almost all possible answers are at the same time wrong and right for someone. I propose to start (again) a discussion about default values, but not now: let's concentrate on 4.0.1.
