[Josh Leverette <coder543@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be fine with a title bar button, but I don't know how it could be
done... the current design isn't conducive to that. But, Pin to Exit is the
way to go, in my opinion. Does anyone else have feelings for or against Pin
to Exit, as described in my previous email?

Sincerely,
Josh
