uh-oh. bikeshed alert! ;)

seriously though ... i suppose many people expect maximize due to experience 
on other platforms; however many window decos don't provide a shade button 
making shade hard to get to and so the double clicking to shade is a nice 
feature.

all just imho though. outside of measuring which people use more (maximize 
would win), how they do it (button or double click?) and which they need a 
double click shortcut for more (for me it's shade, for the above reason) it 
may be hard to arrive at an actual usability driven answer for this.
