This is madness. We are going overboard, trying to compensate for things
that we never should have done in the first place. Who will try to close a
window by resizing it to infinitessimal oblivion?

And yes, Stefan is right if we go down that road. Are we going to have a
whole UI dialog to find out whether a user really meant to close the window?
Or allow a special kind of undo for window-closing-by-dragging?

I really think we've gone off the deep end on this. Stefan's choice of
"resuscitate" is telling ;-). Overboard and sinking fast...

(But keep this thread alive... We will look back on this 5 years from now
with nostalgia and amusement.)
