Interesting. I had not considered that before. Thank you!
The real question is then how to handle another feature required of the NSPanel's which is to window shade them. Currently, the minimize button has been overridden to provide this behavior. However, if it were easy to get some other kind of window shade button or indicator into the title bar (and, I'm guessing that it is), this is certainly an option.
I will have to consider it some more to determine whether or not it really fits.
