Hi Carson!

Adding minimize button shouldn't be hard :-)

Regarding the actions (this is also re: Andreas) - I have always found
the buttons somehow inefficient - the icons are small and I found
myself always searching the right one (using tooltips). So I thought
that putting them to a separate menu would be a better solution (as
the menu item have icon+text). But if more users like the original
solution, this can be changed. Shortcuts can be added too.
