These two commands set keybindings for horizonatally and vertically maximizing a window. Most of the time when you maximize, you only need one of the two dimentions to be bigger.

$ gconftool-2 --type string -s \
  /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/maximize_vertically \
  '<Ctrl><Alt>v'
$ gconftool-2 --type string -s \
  /apps/metacity/window_keybindings/maximize_horizontally \
  '<Ctrl><Alt>h'
