 No. If  memory serves me well, that's actually what happens and what is 
causing the problem. The resizing in your step 2. actually happens _after_ 
the window is shown and maximized by the window manager, because of Qt's 
delayed layout activation (or whatever it is exactly that triggers it so 
late). So the window is first maximized by the window manager and then the 
application immediatelly asks to be resized again (and width()/height() still 
return old size because of X being asynchronous).
