Is
showMaximized()guaranteed to at least show the window on all desktop operating systems?
Is it possible to determine if it failed in any way (via code)?Nor does X11 provide a way to maximize a window. QWidget::showMaximized() has to emulate the feature. Its result depends on the result of QWidget::frameGeometry() and the capability of the window manager to do proper window placement, neither of which can be guaranteed.

Hi!
Is showMaximized() guaranteed to at least show the window on all desktop operating systems?
Looking at
void QWidget::showMaximized()in qwidget.cpp I would say 'yes' becausesetVisible(true)is called no matter happens before.Do you know any desktop environment where
showMaximizeddoesn't work? -

No I do not. I'm contributing to an open source project so I want to be sure.
