i'll have another look at those you suggested.
dialogmate does exactly the same though - with the one button in the corner approach - so you might like to give it a serious test drive.
it does have some extra features, one i've never seen implemented elsewhere. right clicking the 'maximise' button in a window will shrink the window down to a floating (transparent) icon on your desktop - like the window blind things you see elsewhere. this method seems more efficient though i forget to use it.
it will also allow you to minimise your window to the system tray - another common trick you see with other utils.
one criticism is that it's a bit fiddly to set up the paths you want in the favorites button but what can you expect for free.
