It works with the following modification:

(defadvice maxima-send-region (before maxima-start-imaxima first)
  "Ensures that imaxima is running and the correct flag is set."
  (setq imaxima-use-maxima-mode-flag t)
  (unless (get-buffer "*maxima*")
    (with-temp-buffer (imaxima))))
(ad-activate 'maxima-send-region)

The variable maxima-buffer-name is not defined in the version I am
using.

Is there a way to show the (i)maxima window automatically when it
starts?

Best,
