With "everything" you mean "all windows accept dialogs and those that the user 
does not want to be maximized"?

Excluding dialogs is easy, the second half is a bit more tricky. For sure it's 
things like floating toolbars, menubars, desktop panels, sticky tools, 
clocks. But what else?

Nevertheless, I suggest you give it a try. It may very well be useful.
