Firefox 2.0 will not have the close button at the right anymore, it will
have a close button on every tab and is in my opinion also preferred. I
didn't even know the close button was the presence icon until I read the
post about it here.
Every other app (Gedit, Gnome Terminal, Galeon, Epiphany, ...) does it
that way, why change it for Gossip? Doesn't make sense, make it
consistent across the desktop, that's where people expect it, no?
