The lack of window buttons on a maximized window is not just a nautilus
issue. Other Gnome apps such as totem and epiphany are following the
gnome 3 guidelines of removing the title bar when maximized. This does
result in a usability issue with trying to quickly close a window using
a pointer. 

There's a recent bug filed with a proposed solution that doesn't seem to
have had much attention:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695399

I think desktop-devel-list or gnome-shell-list would be better places to
bring this issue up, since it is a gnome specification.
