It should do exactly what (fullscreen . maximized) frame parameter
does, so I guess you are already used to the above issue?

You mean, the solution is for emacs to _take_ the dimensions of its
frame from its console window, yes?  Because without that, runemacs
can pass whatever it wants, and no one will notice.

Assuming the above is possible (having the window both hidden _and_
maximized), patches are welcome.
