The patch to disable minimize made close available. Yeah, this API
isn't great.

driver: Disable all WM functions except move

Calling gdk_window_set_functions() overrides the 'deletable' property
set on the GtkApplicationWindow instance. So let's just do it in one
place and allow only the WM functions we want.

I wonder if there's any specific reason why g-i-s want to allow the user to even move the window around, instead of having it "glued" to the center of the screen.

I think that's reasonable. I don't remember if there was a specific reason to allow moving the window. Perhaps just fear that the window would be misplaced by the WM or that it wouldn't fit the screen and the user might want to move it around to see all the content. But yeah, these would all be bugs which should be fixed anyway.

Better to open a new bug and request UI review.
