Well, that didn't seem to work very well.  In the meantime I've found 
the answer.  I had these properties set on the main window.
<property name="window_position">center-always</property>
<property name="default_width">1024</property>

Removing them and the window maximizes properly.  The hint came from bug 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587591 .   Hope this helps 
someone else.
