I second that! I am not familiar with Suntools, but I find Macintosh
windows hard to use because the Mac requires such precise mouse
positioning to get at the correct control in the window borders
or to get at part of the information near the edge of the window.
I often end up moving windows when trying to close them.

Also, controls in the borders waste space on the screen.
