Steven, last I checked it wasn't. But that may have changed in the meantime. I always go through the prefs to set up a few standard things, so I might not have noticed it was already right.

Isn't the default for the double click minimize OFF?
http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/blog-double-click-as-a-shortcut.htm#comment2 http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/blog-double-click-as-a-shortcut.htm#comment2 I often wonder what the use of the minimize function is since I never actually use it intentionally, preferring spaces or hiding. When it does happen, it is because of an accidental double click on the title bar or the minimize button. I wish I could turn it off completely.

It seems to me that this relatively clean model was brutally murdered by the advent of the web browser, where the distinction between data and controls is often unclear and what happens when you click somewhere is essentially random.
