Definitely. Window decoration is there to be removed. I really dislike
apps where you can *only* do something from a toolbar --- not only do I have
to swap to the mouse, but it's taking up pixels I want to use for another
job.

Ah, my home box :-). The only thing that stays maximised on there is
Squeak --- and I'd still love to see multiple 'screens' in Squeak so that I
could intermingle Squeak windows with my native OS windows.
