The problem with specifying the geometry is that it depends on the font.
I could certainly use rxvt -geometry 169x57, but if the font happens to
change (e.g. because I change the X resources) this fails.

I had a look at it. And I had it even before I posted mail initial mail!
I also tried what you proposed (and a few other alternatives). No luck.
Your example toggles the maximize state of an rxvt which is already
on the screen. (E.g. if this window is normal size, it gets maximized,
if it is maximized it gets back it's normal size). The wait returns
immediately if there is already an rxvt on the screen. I tried also
something like
AddToFunc StartMaxRxvt I Exec exec rxvt -n 'my_name'
+ I Wait my_name
+ I Current (my_name) Maximize 100 100
no luck.
I also searched for something like
Style '*my_name*' Maximized
but a style `Maximized' does not seem to exist.
hmm. I thought that /must/ be easy. But it doesn't seem so.
