Re: [Usability] Maximized windows without window chrome

[Julian Missig <julian jabber org>]

Actually, I wanted to see this done, except leave the window title... so 
it would just remove the slight borders but still have the buttons for 
unmaximizing (I'm sorry, but the button to unmaximize should be 
available in the same general area as the button to maximize). Kenny 
tried to do this, and unfortunately, he said it's very difficult to get 
sawfish to remove just the borders properly. It may be easier to make 
sawfish make all the borders go away, but there are very obvious 
usability reasons against athat.
