I'm incline to say that we should ignore the HIG here in regards to the 
window title and buttons (i'm not even sure you could do the buttons 
correctly in metacity yet), until such a time that we have a window hint for 
alerts (NET_WM_ALERT maybe). Setting the window title to NULL is a non-
option, since for a11y reasons every window needs a title (whether it is 
visible in the ui is a different issue).
