Assuming GNOME2 with Metacity window manager, then the keyboard 
bindings for operations on a window that have changed from the 
default are stored in:
	~/.gconf/apps/metacity/window_keybindings/%gconf.xml

The option you want is called "maximize_vertically".

I also don't what the string is required for a mouse click, as I've 
only used keyboard controls. Maybe a look at the source code could 
give some clues ?
