After having thought about this some more I decided that #3 with a
fallback to #1 is the best option.  #2 is bad because it makes it
unpredictable where the window will maximize since it depends on which
viewport is active.  #1 is bad because the typical case is probably
where a window is just a few pixels into the next viewport over -- a
viewport with just a few pixels of a window is definitely not the
viewport the window is in.
