maximize's Issues

cannot use maximize-toggle-frame-vmax directly in .emacs

Hello, I'm using OSX 10.8.1, and use this emacs version: http://emacsformacosx.com/

The issue is, when I add maximize-toggle-frame-vmax and maximize-toggle-frame-hmax directly into .emacs, after emacs start, it turns out this:

To be mentioned, I load lots of modules in .emacs.

I made a workaround, and it works:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook '(lambda () (run-at-time "1 sec" nil 'maximize-toggle-frame-vmax)))
(add-hook 'after-init-hook '(lambda () (run-at-time "1 sec" nil 'maximize-toggle-frame-hmax)))
