Gnucash itself also tries to remember the window size/location from
run to run.  But I dont think it remembers "maximized".  As Derrick
suggests, try enlarging the non-maximized window to fill the screen
and then when you quit gnucash it should remember that size/position
and return on the next run.

Also note that this memory is per-data-file, per-user.  If you open a
new data file (or another user opens it) it will revert to the
standard size.
