Actually this is a known issue related to our implementation being
asynchronous, which shows for Show (). Basically calling Form.Show () will not
execute all the routines commonly executed in a form being shown, since it gets
'interrupted'.

This doesn't happend with a) Forms calling ShowDialog (), which means the forms
stay *in* the screen, b) Forms passed to Application.Run, also remaining in the
screen, and c) Forms calling Show () when there's already another Form running
- which forces the form to stay alive.

To test that, I tested it with the attached sample:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ConsoleApplicationRegTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Form f = new Form ();

            Button b = new Button ();
            b.Click += delegate 
            {
                Form f2 = new Form ();
                f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
                f2.Show ();
            };
            b.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            b.Text = "show win";
            b.Parent = f;

            Application.Run (f);
        }
    }
}

Basically, after running a first Form with Application.Run, we show a second
form after pressing a button - as you can see, this second form is actually
maximized, since *all* the routines are executed for it (inclusing telling the
window manager we want it to be maximized).

As I said, it's a known issue, and it's unlikely to affect real world apps,
since basically nobody uses Form.Show without other forms already running/using
ShowDialog ()/Application.Run
