I think minimising should be done only by the window manager with no

Some windows, such as alerts and warnings, may not wish to be
minimized. If a window has children windows, the may not want to be
minimized until it's children are closed. For instance, if the window
pops up a child window to configure options on the parent, it may not
sense to minimize the parent window being configured.
Right. All these things could be easily dealth with, IMO, if there were a
window manager (default would be to not allow minimize, but the default
could be overriden if need be).
I'm dropping out of this discussion because we are now focusing on
native Mac OS X, and not X11. I see it as being somewhat off-topic for
this list.
Indeed. I was just trying to point out how much better X11 is than
Apple's OS X from a user point of view (at least in this aspect), and
wonder why they didn't just use X11....but I'm sure that's all been
discussed already - ad nausium.
We can continue it in private if you want.
Na. I'm done. Thanks.
Max.
