Title: Re: Different PPG "rollup" behaviour XSI 4 and 5, user pref??

And then we'll end up hearing from the brigade that believes there to be too many preferences already :-)

1) Why not add a preference saying "Minimize In Place", so the PPG would
'minimize' without moving.
2) And another option, "Double Click To Minimize", so double clicking on
the title bar would 'minimize' the PPG rather than 'shade' it.
3) And another option, "Dont Resize Title Bar", ( and making it
resizable of course ).

With these 3 options, we would have back our behavior.

Is this too challenging to be added ?
