Looking at the documentation of wx I'd say this behavior is expected. When you click on the green led the window is maximized, and ShowFullScreen makes the window a full screen window (simular to the arrow icon's in the lefthand corner of Safari on recent OSX versions, and simular to how full-screen games work). Wx also has a Maximize method that does do the same thing as the green LED.
