I, just looking at Evolution noticed that the title of the window could be moved up to the right of the "Activities" button, replacing the name of the Program. I would also recommend that right clicking on this button closes the window, just as a shortcut. This would allow the removal of the entire window title bar, 85% of which is wasted space anyway. The only slight problem with this almost perfect plan is that it makes moving windows around more difficult, in some cases you have to use the alt key. One way of fixing this would be to make any non-reactive part of the window, act, when dragged, to move the window. Chris
