As far as I can tell, no Tkinter event or pseudo event is generated by
clicking the green "zoom" button on Mac OS X windows. This makes it
impossible to support that OS X paradigm in a Tkinter application.

I would like to be able to bind "<<Zoom>>" to a command that resizes the
window according to the OS X UI guidelines. By the way, the guidelines
specify that the interpretation of "zoom" depends on the application,
and the effect need not be the same as "maximize".

If Marc Culler as well as anybody has no interest/progress on that I will close the issue next week.

Closing as lack of interest from community.
