How about a "SmartMaximize" or "MaximizeAvoidsOnTop" option?  Which would 
cause windows being maximiazed to avoid placing themselves under 
StaysOnTop windows (like wharf and winlist - also, sticky menus).

This could be extended to initial placement as well.  How about a pair 
of options: "PlacementAvoidsOnTop" and "MaximizeAvoidsOnTop"?

This will solve many complaints on the AS mailing list about window 
titlebars being hidden beneath WinList.
