When I see how clean a window can be, metacity, I started wondering if
the widow title bar is even needed. It seems to come from the Microsoft
tradition. On my screen the title bar takes up 3/8" vertically. Two
windows open on the same desktop and you have lost 3/4" of real estate.
Meanwhile the menu bar at most uses 4" to 5" horizontally, the rest is
just wasted space. I wonder if someone can think through a new
arrangement?
