This should read:

          if ($event->changed_mask * [ 'maximized', ]) {

(my memory is not that good anymore - ruined by too much C :-))

You should really read Gtk2::Gdk::Event::WindowState - I pointed you in
the right direction but this mailing list is not an excuse for not
reading the documentation.

Anyway, you want to keep a boolean flag ('$is_maximized') around and
check if the window has already been maximized or not.

The changed_mask shows you what changed since the last window state
event; if you removed the maximized state then you get it in the
bitmask.
