removing minimize and zoom widgets from tool palette title bar

On this page:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGWindows/chapter_17_section_3.html>

In the section on Title Bar Buttons, Apple says:

"If buttons are not active, they should at least all be present in an inactive state. The exception is utility windows, where it is acceptable to display only one button, the close button."

Has anyone gotten this latter option to work? I have a narrow tool palette, which for organization reasons cannot readily be made wider, and with all the widgets in the title bar, it's 1. ugly/cluttered, and 2. hard to drag the window. I'd like to remove - not just disable - the minimize and zoom widgets.

I've tried programmatically creating a window with only a title bar and close box, and that still creates all three standard widgets (close, minimize, and zoom). Does anyone know how to remove all but the close box?

Thanks, -jar
