Presently the default behaviour of Windows XP/Vista is to toggle between maximised and restored states whenever a windows titlebar is double-clicked. It would be of great utility if alternative double-click behaviours were made available via process manager.

These include but are not limited to:

1. Close on double-click

2. Minimise on double-click

3. Minimise to tray on double-click

4. Make transparent (using a present opacity value) on double-click

5. Kill process on double-click

and perhaps outside of process managers current scope

6. Roll (reduce the window to the titlebar only) on double click

I'm sure there are additional behaviours that would be of use to other, though none spring to mind at present. The planned kill on middle-click behaviour is very useful and could be expanded to encompass all of the above behaviours as well, thus allowing the end-user to chose which behaviours best suit his/her circumstances. I however cannot use my middle button as it is presently used to navigate between multiple desktops environments thus double-click behaviour is of paramount importance to myself.
