Pop-up menus are okay in some circumstances, and even desirable for some
uses, but not in title bars of window. To wit:
You should not change the shape of the zoom-window box
or change the interpretation of clicking on the zoom-
window box. You should add no other elements to the
title bar. Except in the zoom-window box and in the
close box, clicking within the title bar should have no
effect.

Lightspeed C is great, but this one went against the rules.
