a) How's this the same thing?
b.1) Drag with the left mouse button while holding down the Alt key.
b.2) Select the application in the window list in the panel and
     select "maximise"
b.3) Press Alt+F3 and select either move or maximise

Now, surely you could have been expected to find at least *one* of 
those solutions... (Unmaximised windows may be dragged outside the 
area of the desktop, so this likely isn't even a proper bug!)
