[also sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, Am I right in assuming that the terms 'dialog' and 'utility window' in the Gnome HIG correspond to the same terms used in the Extended Window Manager Hints standard?
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.4.html http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/ If so, then the HIG's guidelines involving minimize buttons on those windows can only be fulfilled by the window manager, as the app developer and Gtk can only give hints regarding the window type. But then, window managers should be tested /wrt the Gnome HIG and, in particular, the creation of window decoration buttons should be part of the EWMH, subject to the guidelines in the Gnome HIG. IOW, I'm calling for harmonization between EWMH and HIG. That this is necessary is shown by the fact that, e.g., the Metacity WM is deemed EWMH conformant but dialog/utility window hints don't place a minimize button on the window while the HIG requires them there.
