I started filing this bug before I realized that it only impacted xterm (xterm
is really the only window I typically maximize).  I did some searching around
about maximizing xterms, and found that this issue is fixed in 4.7, and there
is a work-around for 4.6:

To work around (refined from the comment in the above bug, because it took me a
while to figure them out):

   * Run "xcmshell4 kwinrules"
   * Click on "New".
   * Click the "Detect Window Properties" button.
   * Click on an xterm.
   * Select "Use window class (whole application)".
   * Click "Ok".
   * Click on the "Workarounds" tab.
   * Select "Strictly obey geometry", change drop-down to "Force" and leave the
final check-box un-checked.
   * Click "Ok"
   * Click "Apply".

That has worked for me.  Oh the joy!
