I just committed and pushed a working maximumize plugin.

Maximumize is a one-keybinding plugin that just resizes a window to fit the available screenspace without overlapping other windows.

So fire up your xchat, make it a little big, them stick pidgin on the right size and maximumize both to take the whole screen (an example).

This is located in git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/kristian/maximumize , and if you have a working c-f environment, all you have to do is type make install and it installs locally. It will likely be merged to plugins-* soon.

It could be animated, it's currently not. It could handle overlapping windows, it doesn't currently. I will work on the latter, but animations are rather far down on my list (which is alarmingly big).

Have fun.

An interesting mode would be to allow the window to to cover any windows it is already covering. Just do not allow it to cover more windows...
