MacOS – way to force Google Chrome to open in full screen

fullscreengoogle-chromemacos

When I'm working just on my MacBook Pro,I like to keep as many apps as I can in Lion's full-screen mode. One of these apps is Google Chrome. However, Chrome doesn't remember that I want it to appear full screen after I quit it. It always opens up in "windowed" mode. Is there a way to force it to start in full screen?

Thanks.

The current version of Google Chrome for Mac (14.0.835.202) is not correctly supporting this behavior, even when the System Preference to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" is selected in the General Preferences pane (like the Mail app or Safari does). There is an open bug ticket on this issue with Google so at some point the "remember full screen state after close" should be resolved. Here is the bug report link:
