So it looks like, with respect to all Cocoa applications, the accessibility
API erroneously returns the UIELEMENT for the MINIMIZE button as the VALUE
of the window's TOOLBAR button ATTRIBUTE (instead of returning the UIElement
for the toolbar button, as it should), but correctly returns the toolbar
button UIElement as one of the CHILDREN of the window UIElement.

Ok, now I see what you're talking about - doh! It's a copy/paste error in
the code implementing that attr.

Carbon applications (e.g., Internet Explorer, Entourage, BTV Pro Carbon,
Finder) don't report ANY of the buttons in the window's title bar as an
ATTRIBUTE. This seems odd, since Cocoa applications do report them as
attributes. Maybe your Carbon accessibility stuff just hasn't caught up with
the Cocoa stuff yet?

Differences are bugs that you should report. A lot of them are known w/ bugs
already existing, but don't let that stop you from reporting them.
