I don't maximise windows either - but I do like them as tall as possibly with an A4/Letter ratio. So I wrote myself a little backgorun apps which triggers on Alt-Ctrl-H and makes the current window full-height. I use that key combination much more than maximise.
Microsoft's new Visual Studio.NET implements some, if not all of this. Windows can be either free floating, docking or added to a tabbed set.
I've not used it much yet, so I don't know what layout I'll end up using.
At the moment it is set up the same as my VC 6 layout - workspace in the top left. Output/Build windows tabbed in the bottom right and the editor window taking up the entire right hand side - I like to see lots of code at once.
The default view was way too busy - for example it showed compilation errors twice - once in the standard compiler output window, and once in a new "tasks" window that allows you to tick off the errors once you've dealt with them. Maybe this is useful for one of the other languages.NET supports, but it isn't how I work with C/C++.
It would be nice if this flexiblity with floating/docking/tabbing was in the window manager instead of the application; although, to be honest, developer studio is the only application I use with a large number of internal windows. Most applications are much simpler - tending towards a single view on a single set of data.
You have to know beforehand that dragging the icon to the trashcan is going to eject it.
The icon change when you get there just helps confirm what you already know. The change is useful for letting you know when the icon has reached its destination (see also... Fitt's Law) but the dual-nature of the trashcan isn't obvious upfront.
It asks you you want to associate a passport with your logon, but you can say no. Some people say it prompts again sporadically but I haven't see that.

Of course, it could just be a bug in the eGroups software?

Did you think of that and ask Yahoo about it before inventing some bizarre conspiracy theory and posting it to
Perhaps if Yahoo were informed responsibly they would fix it for you.

Perfectly clear and logical.

No, it's neither clear nor logical.
