Thanks so much for the advice, but it wound up not working. In gtkwindow.c::gtk_window_realize, I inserterted the following line: ======== gdk_window_set_functions (widget->window, GDK_FUNC_ALL | GDK_FUNC_MINIMIZE); -------------- This effectively removed the minimize button from window on my DEVELOPMENT machine, which was running Ubuntu 11.04, Metacity Window Manager. I didn't realize, though, that the PRODUCTION machine was running Ubuntu 11.04 with a Compiz Window Manager. The Minimize Button was still there!!! Luckily, I was able to use ccsm (Compiz Settings Manager) to disappear the button. But why didn't it work in the first place? Why didn't the fix transfer to a new Window Manager? Would there have been a better way to hack the code to make the Minimize Button dissappear on all platforms and window managers?
