I like what is used in the 4Sight window manager (Silicon Graphics Iris
workstation NeWS/X11R3 based). I actually like the 3.1 version better
(because all three buttons had unique functions), but the 3.2 version is
more approprite for the 2-button Amiga: There are two gadgets in the title
bar -- close and iconify; the whole window border (including title-bar) is
the click-to-front (left button) gadget (if the mouse didn't move before
button release), or window drag (middle button or move with left button);
there is a sizing gadget in each corner; right button brings up a pop-up
menu with all functions + push, quit & resize.  It would be nice to add
some method of indicating the rows & columns (either characters for a
single-font window, or pixels for a graphics/multi-font window) while
sizing.
