How do you guys feel about the idea of omitting the Minimize window-button? Especially for maximized windows, the panel has a lot going on and I'm thinking maybe it would be better to display just the Close and Maximize buttons. After all, the user can simply click the Launcher Icon to "minimize" that window, right? So the user isn't losing this capability. Plus middle-clicking on the top panel moves the active window out of the way. It seems like the Minimize window-button is redundant and omitting it will help reduce clutter on the top panel when a window is maximized.
