Description William Jon McCann 2012-10-23 22:53:55 UTC 
I observed a user today who was confused by how to close a maximized app that didn't have a titlebar. Hiding the titlebar has the side effect of hiding the close button.

We should think about this case a bit more I think. Particularly since we haven't really gotten the app menu story finished and only some apps hide titlebars.

There are a number of options here I think. I'll leave that open for discussion.
