xfce4-windowck-plugin

Hi Marco,
yes you need a way to remove windows decoration from maximized windows like
Maximus do.
So you should use Maximus or a patch for xfwm4 described here on a
different thread.

Regarding window controls I'm used to use keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 so
I normally don't use them also on normal windows. That is the reason I
don't implemented them yet but I could work to integrate them.

Regarding Maximus I'm using it at the moment without problems with just to
small attentions.

First I use it only to remove decorations for maximized windows not to
force maximization.
So I configure it:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/maximus/no_maximize true

Second a small patch for remove decoration from windows which already start
maximized.
I copy the patch here if someone is interested.

bye
Alessio
