The window title is less useful (i.e. used less often) than the menu titles. So if it was necessary to choose, then yes, I'd choose to hide the window title when maximized. I don't think it should be necessary to choose, though. Nobody complains that maximized windows on the Mac, for example, have the title bar below the menu bar. Any effort to save more space than that should go towards a full-screen mode that doesn't have a title bar or window controls at all. > For the "Connect to Server" example you gave too - this is pretty bad > even if you *do* know where the menu is, because you need to minimize > windows and/or click on an empty area on the desktop in order to even > get the menu to show (and I don't think that's particularly > discoverable IMO).

It's present in the "File" menu for all Nautilus windows, not just for the desktop. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2AlPkACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecqsNgCgw6vfWC6EerZQb0YN3rFClTRb y2sAnjPye5y2Z3LRuHYMRyQMtFbqKn6c =Z8jt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
