I cannot throw the mouse with my eyes closed and hit the X button because it has a 4px gap from the corner. This forces me to move the mouse, check, move again and finally click. It's a 4-step action for what should be a 2-step one: move and click.
As far as my personal preferences are concerned, this would be enough. Make the invisible X button extend to the left and top edges and the "invisible" part becomes a non-issue: just throw the mouse and click. (Yes the X button gets special treatment, because you use it roughly an order of magnitude more often than the minimize and maximize buttons). My other concern has to do with computer-illiterate users who come across this for the first time. Jo asked me how those users cope with the invisible menus in 11.04. The answer is, they don't - they are still on 10.04 because (a) Unity is very rough in 11.04 and (b) I only use LTRs on them (upgrading every 6 months is painful). I just ask that these users be kept in mind for 12.04, that's all.
