That does make sense. I'll really have to install the F15 Beta soon to
check this out in more detail.
So there won't be any way to minimise windows at all then? Not saying
this is a bad idea, I'm just trying to get the facts straight. :)

You can minimize windows by right-clicking the title bar, ALT+F9,
ALT+SPACE and then N, or changing your preferences to include a minimize
button. If I remember correctly, you can still add and remove and move
around buttons at your leisure, though I'm not sure what benefits they
would bring. The reason they're hiding the minimize function isn't
because its useless, but because it's been mostly deprecated now that
Shell has an infinite list of workspaces that you can drag and drop
windows on to. If there's a better way to implement "minimization" or
"hiding" windows, it should be implemented around 3.2 or 3.4.
By the way, removing the close button by default, while some people
might like it, I don't really understand. It "reduces visual clutter",
yes, but I don't want to have to go to the activities overview just to
close a tiny window, you know? Otherwise, I completely agree with the
decision to remove those two buttons and I can't wait until GNOME Shell
is released as stable! :)
