Correct. MeeGo was designed around a one app per zone paradigm. The only required action on app toolbars was close. In 'legacy' (not designed for netbooks) apps we removed the minimise and maximise buttons from the window title.

There were a number of reasons for that relating to consistency, design direction and implementation details of the window switcher. Reasons very much like the GNOME shell team in fact.

I wish we'd been able to explore some tiled window strategies as well, to try and meet the 'side by side' usage scenarios that we know exist and that Owen mentions but sadly, we never really prioritised it high enough as the side by side experience was just fundamentally unsatisfactory on 1024x600 at <10".
