Bug Description

GNOME Panel applets that substitute maximized window title and buttons. GNOME violates Fitts's Law by putting a panel between the maxed window buttons and the corner of the screen. These applets were designed to solve the problem. Window Title and Window Buttons are essentially controls for windows that are placed on the Panel instead of a window. By default they only control maximized windows, but can be configured to control any focused window.
