It's --desktop-st option.

If you don't have borders enabled, they just affect whether
ST/e screen gets doubled or not[2].  If you have borders enabled,
they can also limit the size of the border.

For ST --borders & --zoom options are easier [1], latter is
backwards compatible convenience option to set both suitable
max width & height.

Why exactly you would want to use --max-width & --max-height
with ST?


[1] I just noticed that "-z 1" limits size to 300x200, I wonder
    why, because "-z 2" includes doubled screen with full borders.

Yes.

[2] The scale factor is derived from (allowed) monitor
    resolution though.

Does that height include statusbar with larger font?

(AFAIK max Atari overscan height is <300.)

Proper in which sense?
