It's a bit icky because every application seem to meen something different by it (close a tab, quit the app, close this window, minimize to tray), but this is a more general problem :) > and can minimise it normally with the minimise button.

For me, (except for maximize window), the title bar controls are sort of an override, I only use them when the app is not doing it right or is in the way. When RB hangs (or frozen for 5mins, feels about the same :)), and yes this does still happen when listening to streams days at a row, that X button is my saviour.
