Yes, I understand that. But a developer, on seeing a screencast,
thought it part of the normal WM chrome. Indeed, if you look at the
screenshot[1] it looks like any other stacked window, but with a
button next to the back arrow.

>From a *user's* point of view, this looks like a button in the window
chrome. Hence my concerns about usability differences for the valid
