Description
Maximizing the window stretches it over both monitors rather than one.
MULTIMON="true" in the winapps.config results in no window appearing at all for me. And apparently other have noticed a black window instead: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/5206
This bug was already known from the old Winapps: https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/issues/260 https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/issues/26

Research direction
Start with winapps.config and the MULTIMON="true" setting, then reproduce the maximized-window behavior with two monitors and compare the no-window or black-window results against the linked FreeRDP issue. Trace how winapps passes the setting to FreeRDP. Done means maximizing targets one monitor and the configured multi-monitor mode presents a usable window.
