Yeah, that would be the best because the experience would be (potentially) 
more consistent across platforms. I've never written a Linux app, except 
Squeak plugin - so I would have to figure out how to do it. It just seems we 
should have a confirmation so a user doesn't accidentally hit the "X" when 
s/he meant to hit the "Maximize" icon.

In fact, I'm now thinking this should be labelled a defect. What do you think?
