I meant "naturally" from an API view. Seeing how things are different in
Windows, OSX, Linux here we probably should leave as much as possible up
to the implementation.

Yes. In X11, toggling "fake fullscreen" is virtually identical to
toggling "maximized" (the old window position and dimensions are
retained by X11 at all times) except that the title bar of the window
disappears and menu-bar and task-bar are also hidden while in
fake-fullscreen state.
