this was what my original patch did, but discussion on core-devel resulted in 
requests to keep things consistent, so that people can switch between window 
decos and have consistent behaviour.

i don't personally think that this makes sense, but committed it with all 
styles changed anyways.

here's my reasoning on it:

first: not all the window decos behave the same anyways: BII has tabs that 
move, RiscOS (i think?) has configurable hide/show animations, some don't 
show the menu button, etc, etc... so it isn't like we are destroying 
consistency here. in fact, it seems on of the primary reasons for the C++ 
decos is to allow variations in behaviour (otherwise we could just stick to 
the IceWM/Blackbox styles)...

second: those styles that are meant to emulate other systems (e.g. MS Windows 
or CDE) ought to. =)

this is why when i saw the CDE commit i just kept my mouth shut: i think it is 
the right thing to do.
