Just click it again to resize back. I don't see the problem.

What if you change from a huge screen to small one? You would have to
change settings and back again each time you use a different display.

Just a sidenote/hint, are you aware of

 * middleclick/rightclick the maximize button for maximize only
vertical/horizontal?

 * middleclick on titlebar for move window to background

 * rollup/rolldown window feature

 * meta-left drag for move window

 * meta-right drag for resize window

 * each application starts at last window size

in Xfce?

Not what you were asking for, just to make sure you know some important
everyday features as you wrote "After years of being frustrated by
overly fancy window managers" (which might not have had those
possibilities) in your first mail.

Not a bad idea you had there, but nothing that I personally would be
longing for.

Cheerz,
Lars
