The latest from your site: GTK ver 2.2.0.

The best example is with a dialog window, which has no resizing available to
it (i.e. gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW(mywindow), FALSE)...).  Under
X11 only the close ('X') button is shown, now minimise or maximise.  Under
windows, the same window, has ALL three buttons visible and they can all be
clicked.  The maximise button puts the window in position 0,0 on the screen
(i.e. top left).  The minimise button does as it should.

Now, under X11 with a window (which does not employ the GTK_DIALOG()
feature) there is a minimise and a close button.  On windows the same window
has all three buttons available again (same effects when pressing minimise,
maximise and close as before).

Not only this but the application menu (accessed by the icon in the top left
of the window - or Alt+Space) has 'size' as a menu option which shouldnt
happen, when trying to resize, interesting things happen, although it does
not resize.  I presume that if the minimise and maximise buttons were set
correctly the menu would also reflect these changes.

One other thing to note is that double clicking the titlebar will maximise
the window, which happens to my unsizeable window - just another thing to
look out for.

Martyn
