Start Tk-application with window maximized

[hungryhungryhippo]

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to create a Toplevel (MainWindow->new) that is maximized? I'm using Linux, so the $mw->state('zoomed'); thingie does not work
thanks,
michael

After looking on perlmonks and in the PerlFAQ, i came up with this to force the geometry (works for windowsXP)

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
my $m=new MainWindow();
my $h=$m->screenheight();
my $w=$m->screenwidth();
$m->geometry($w."x$h+0+0" );
MainLoop;

Heh, fits in a twitter post even.
