'Green button' on Mac should default to fullscreen rather than maximize/zoom

[robotarmy]

This should probably end up in the wishlist

Pressing the 'green button' in the top left of the window on a Mac makes most apps go fullscreen.

Kicad should probably do the same.

This may be an issue with wxWidgets rather than KiCad. KiCad does not
handle resizing window frames directly although there could be an event
we are handling that needs to be skipped and passed up the event handler
chain. My guess is that it's the OSX port of wxWidgets that is the
culprit. Has anyone tried testing this with the latest trunk of wxWidgets?

it works fine here on 10.12

Just upgraded to 10.12, and it's all working now. I like the interesting tabbed behaviour if I maximize the KiCAD window and open PCBNew from in it.
