"Double-click-to-maximize" is going to be desktop environment specific,
often mapped as a shortcut for the maximize button.
In this case, it is not possible because the window has a fixed size,
and for that reason the maximize button should be disabled too.

randr is the X11 protocol, you may use any tool that uses it, ie:
xrandr -s 1024x768
"man xrandr" for details

It cannot be done at present because the window has a fixed size.
There is a ticket for that:

It doesn't look hard to implement, I just haven't had the time.
