Will have to have a play with the two versions to see exactly what  
you mean, but in the meantime, maybe the 'maximize vertically' window  
manager command would do what you want?  (I *think* it was around in  
2.6...)  It's accessible via a keyboard shortcut only, which you have  
to define yourself in the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences window.  I  
use Shift-Alt-F10, since Alt-F10 is used for the 'regular' maximize  
function.

Cheeri,
Calum.
