The maximize requires the window manager to understand "extended window manager
hints".  See freedesktop.org for details.

My first choice would be to see if the blackbox people have added this already,
and if not, request it from them [it'll help with ALL modern GUI apps, not
just FOX but also gnome and kde].

While you're waiting, you can create a borderless toplevel window and reparent
into that.  This should work AFIAK.
The advantage of reparenting is that you can reparent again to move back to
the original toplevel window when you come out of full screen mode again.
