I'm looking for a window manager (not tiling one) for Xfce that's able to automatically hide the titlebar when a window is maximized. Could you recommend me something?

kwin could do that, and people running gnome were using maximus - https://launchpad.net/maximus implies it can work with any (compliant) WM (although it might be forcing maximized state upon you).

I tried Maximus, but it acts weirdly with Xfwm - if a window is maximized already after launching it, Maximus won't hide the titlebar and so on.
Somebody on G+ said Compiz, but I had a few issues with Compiz and dual screen in the past.

devilspie can do this. ~/.devilspie/rules.ds something like this:
(if
(is (application_name) "Chromium")
(begin
(set_workspace 2)
(maximize)
(undecorate)
)
)
Syntax can be a little bit different getting used to but it's a good program. Been using it for years.
Edit: Openbox wm can also undecorate windows with a hotkey if you want.

Damn, why did I forget about devilspie? Time to get it running again, thanks!

Xfwm can do this too, but I'm looking for an automated solution.

You're welcome. I found this just now:

May save you future headache in setup.

I've been using devilspie for the last few weeks and the only issue I have with it that it won't decorate the window again when it's unmaximized. Also, I don't see a method in devilspie that would allow to check if a window is undecorated or not.
I think compiz can autoundecorate maximized windows, but it seems outdated.

hello,
Your post is a bit old. If your are still looking for a solution, I've made a patch for xfwm4 based on Viktor Semykin work.
AUR packages: xfwm4-titleless+ and xfwm4-titleless-dev (devel version).
Your feedback is welcome.
