Description
Not sure either to label this an enhancement request or a bug report...
I have my "gaps" settings for this wonderful extension set to 10 (Windows & All Screen Edges), with the Maximized Windows toggle set to ON. This works great; however, when opening NEW windows that start maximized for any reason, there is no screen edge gap whatsoever, unless I unmaximize and remaximize.
My gut tells me this has to do with some aspect of GNOME which may be a bit deeper than this plugin operates at. It's totally understandable if this is something that might prove too difficult to reasonably implement/fix. But I wanted to ask about it regardless.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in GNOME with gaps set to 10 and Maximized Windows enabled, using a window that opens maximized. Trace how the extension handles newly maximized windows versus windows re-maximized after unmaximizing. Done means newly opened maximized windows consistently respect the configured screen-edge gaps without manual intervention.
