[ $(xwininfo -id 0x60001d -all | awk '/Maximized/{print}' | wc -l) -eq 2 ] && echo Maximized

where 0x60001d is window ID. See xwininfo -h for other ways to identify a window for testing.

xwininfo -name 'Window Title' | grep 'Map State:'

Look for IsViewable versus IsUnMapped; these come from the map_state field returned by XGetWindowAttributes.

(At least, that works with traditional window managers; I don't know if Compiz does screwy stuff to allow for thumbnailing minimized windows.)
