If you add it, it is only a tiny little button - easily overlooked. You can always right click the title bar, which is set be default to show the menu. But who ever uses the menu these days?

Actually it is & raises hand. However, the menu title bar can be modified from it's default: /apps/metacity/general/action_right_click_titlebar This option determines the effects of right-clicking on the title bar. Current valid options are 'toggle_shade', which will shade/unshade the window, 'toggle_maximize' which will maximize/unmaximize the window, 'toggle_maximize_horizontally' and 'toggle_maximize_vertically' which will maximize/unmaximize the window in that direction only, 'minimize' which will minimize the window, 'shade' which will roll the window up, 'menu' which will display the window menu, 'lower' which will put the window behind all the others, and 'none' which will not do anything. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
