Florian,

Thanks for your reply.  So my understanding is that in order to implement this behavior the source code for 
mutter would need to be modified?

Is it reasonable to expect the mutter folks would accept a patch if I were to implement this behavior?

Kind Regards,
Kevin

No. While the window *menu* is handled by gnome-shell (and thus can be modified by extensions), all the 
titlebar *buttons* are either implemented by mutter (X11 windows with non-custom decorations) or the 
application/toolkit (all wayland windows, X11 windows with custom decorations).

No, for the same reason.

Cheers,
Florian
