Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I would like to have an option which closes the window when you double click on the system menu of a window. (I knowtthis feature was removed because of usability reasons, but why not make it available again as an option?)
It was just reintroduced for some decorations which emulates systems with such behavior.

Created attachment 2160 [details] Resolves broken "double-click does not close window" for default kwin style This patch adds "menu button double-click closes window" functionality for kwin default client. The functionality by default is turned off, but can be turned on by new option in configuration dialog, "Close window on menu double-click" check box. Adding the same function to the other clients is extremely trivial; anyone willing me to create a patch for their favorite kwin client is welcome though.
I dont think this should be in the windeco client. but more in the kwin core, allowing any button on any windeco to do anything.
Jee, it WAS in the core once, and was thrown out for paranoid ( though probably respectable ) reasons, so I had to resort to such a stupid hack AND, what is more valuable to me, spend time for a feature I always had. I don't know what is the status of the poor button now, but IMO it must serve as a minor warning to the k00l k0derz, in particular that noone would thank you for a broken app, whatever lofty reasons were to broke it. No more coffee today :)
Seems to me that even in those styles that do have the double click to close-functionality, it doesn't work on a rapid double click. It just opens the system menu.
Quick test of all styles in CVS ca 3.4beta2 give the folowing. These styles do not close window on double click on system menu: KDE1 KStep Keramik Quartz These styles do close window on double click on system menu: BII - configurable CDE Icewm KDE2 Redmond Plastik - configurable And it dos not apply to these as they don't have system menu: Glow Laptop Modern System OpenLook RiscOS System++ Web
I should note that a patch that fixes this problem (at least in several themes) is available in bug #107185.
