No, I am talking about rootless mode. The maximize button leaves room
for the non-existent dock in rootless mode. This does not make any
sense and must be a bug in quartz-wm. Also, xterm is perhaps a bad
example but the strip is gray happens no matter what application is
used. In fact, it happens when requesting a blank window from inside a
GTK program. You request to get a window as large as the screen and
the window manager (quartz-wm) returns a window smaller than the screen
on the right side (by 4 pixels or so) or if there is a dock on the OS X
screen it leaves room for that as well (in rootless mode).
When using blackbox these peculiarities go away. The window manager
(blockboxwm) returns windows as large as the screen (in rootless mode)
and it doesn't leave room for non-existent docks. Thus, I am confident
that the bug is in quartz-wm. I also imagine it is an easy fix and if
the source were available would already be fixed. Using Blackbox is
not an option for most people.
