I'm not sure what a 'system menu' buys, nor why I would ever want to have it appear on EVERY window. [I certainly don't make use of it.] If we are talking about changing the size of a Mozilla window, I "grab" an edge and "pull" it to where I want it. If we are talking about changing the position of a Mozilla window, I RMB in the title bar and "drag" the window. If we are talking about Close/Maximize/Minimize, there are "buttons" on my title bar which allow me to do those. I don't __need__ a 'system menu' when I am operating with a mouse. [And if I am *not* using a mouse - why would I *need* an "icon" anyway ?] If we are talking about whether the 'Title Bar' should be displayed or not on "subsidiary" windows -- I *want* it there (so I can click on the 'X' in the 'Title Bar' to get rid of the "subsidiary" window). Once in a while (at least with earlier builds) a "subsidiary" window might open ON TOP OF the original window. Seems to me that showing a different (or null) icon for "subsidiary" windows would give an unmistakable VISUAL INDICATION that the window the user is looking at is *not* the original window opened by Mozilla. mikus
