That just means all the supported buttons are already present. If you
remove one, it'll show up as available.
OK - that makes sense.

I'm not sure where that layout comes from, I thought it was from
Oxygen/Ozone, but that actually defaults to having the close button on the
extreme right after the 2 spacers. Maybe an old version of Oxygen? Or maybe
it's just what the default is the first time you enable customized
positions.
This is Fedora 10, using Phase style (which I haven't changed) and Laptop
Window Decoration. The Close button was on the right in the original
decoration setting, so I don't know why it was on the left in Laptop.

The '+' stands for "On all desktops". '?' is Help, '_'
is minimize, the
square is maximize.
Apart from '+' they were recognisable. I just never thought of that as
'On
all desktops'. I'm still getting to grips with that. Are you really saying
that you could have window decorations different on each desktop?

The 'H's are spacers (separators). Oxygen uses those spacers to look
"cool", in most other window decorations they're just annoying, so just
remove them.
Fair enough.

Right, those 2 'H's are spacers so they produce that wide blank space.
OK - thanks for the explanation. I'll give some thought now about what to
write on userbase and where to put it.
