Re: Remove Minimize Button from GTK Window?

[Mitchell Verter <mitchell verter gmail com>]

Thanks so much for the advice, but it wound up not working.

In gtkwindow.c::gtk_window_realize, I inserterted the following line:
========
  gdk_window_set_functions (widget->window, GDK_FUNC_ALL | GDK_FUNC_MINIMIZE);
--------------

This effectively removed the minimize button from window on my
DEVELOPMENT machine, which was running Ubuntu 11.04, Metacity Window
Manager.

I didn't realize, though, that the PRODUCTION machine was running
Ubuntu 11.04 with a Compiz Window Manager.  The Minimize Button was
still there!!!  Luckily, I was able to use ccsm (Compiz Settings
Manager) to disappear the button.

But why didn't it work in the first place?  Why didn't the fix
transfer to a new Window Manager?  Would there have been a better way
to hack the code to make the Minimize Button dissappear on all
platforms and window managers?

THanks
Mitchell
