Left/right click the maximize button doesn't maximize the window.  That 
portion of the screen along the bottom, where a panel was, but is no 
longer, isn't covered by the window.

The window, signified by the "x", covers most of the screen.  However, 
the bottom portion of the monitor, signified by the ".", isn't covered by 
the window.  Why?
