The simalt trick is locale-dependent, since the key for Maximize is not
X in every menu language. In addition, it is win32-only (if someday you
migrate to Linux it will stop working). OTOH,

:set lines=999 columns=999

(in your gvimrc, or at the GUIEnter event, or bracketed by :if
has('gui_running') in your vimrc) should work on all systems and
languages. It should appear _after_ you set the 'guifont', since
changing the font may change the size of the character cell.

Best regards,
Tony.
