ok.. i just did a little research and here, apparently, is the rational for 
why it was done this way in win 3.x:

menus had a default item, which was in bold. when you clicked twice in rapid 
succession on the menu it would cause this default item to be selected.

they made "close" the default item on the window menu so that you didn't have 
to move your mouse "all the way" over to the other side to hit the close 
button.


wow.
