See, this is another of the reasons I don't like ANY suite ... I like to be able to define behaviors myself. FVWM lets me do this, in exacting detail.

My windows have six titlebar buttons, three each side:



The first is the standard window-menu button. The second moves a window to a different page of my current desktop (my desktop is a grid of 4x4 pages). The third moves it to a different virtual desktop (I have four virtual desktops). The fourth is a windowshade button, fifth is minimize, sixth is maximize. If I click the maximize button, it does a vertical maximize. If I click it and drag a few pixels sideways, it does a full-screen maximize.

Try setting up either KDE or Gnome to work that way. You can't.

Frankly, another reason why I don't like either Gnome OR KDE is that both of them try too hard to look like Windows. If I wanted to be running Windows, I'd, well .... run Windows.
