hehe, i thought the absense of buttons was deliberate.

i like the idea of having no visible Minimise/Maximise/Close buttons 
when a window is inactive.. this reduces the graphical complexity of the
desktop - something that should be encouraged where possible.

this of course would require that they become active on a mouse-over
event without bringing that whole window into focus. perhaps impossible
in the current windowing context.

cheers,

julian
