I guess I could have been more specific. I didn't mean the windows default menu, which is indeed of zero interest. What I meant was the usher @default@ menu. >max/min). Adding the icon fixed *a lot* of problems when Usher is >the shell. If I make it optional, and the user happens to close >all other Windows icons then those bugs will return. That is true. You are so right. But I don't think I'm the only one who always have other applications running. For those of us who always have other applications running, it is no problem. If you describe the nature of the problem in the documentation, and leave it to the user to choose whether to have an icon or not, I think it's fair. Default would of course be an icon. Just add a "show icon" item on the usher default menu. It should of course be a checkmarked item. I don't think that would lead to any problems, or am I wrong? _ /Bjorn.
