...which doesn't seem to be true.  I solved the problem satisfactorily
by adapting a solution from [1]:

(defun maximize-window-vertically ()
  (interactive)
  (x-send-client-message nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32
                         '(2 "_NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT" 0)))
(maximize-window-vertically)

Thanks,

Walter
