I am afraid you are slightly mistaken. In the default configuration, you used to be able to throw the mouse to the right edge of the screen and only aim vertically for the close button. While this is more difficult than throwing the mouse to the corner, it is significantly easier than aiming a 16x1

Thanks kind of you and appreciated. On the subject of options, though, I would urge you to think through the full cost of adding an option. We discussed it on the Ayatana list for another case where someone wanted an option, check out http://www.mail-archive.com/ayat...@lists.launchpad.net/msg0041
