Hi FED, maybe I misunderstood but it sounded like your entire system was freezing and you had to use the power button to shut it off? Is that not the case?

re: yellow minimize button not lit - that is normal if you are in "full screen" mode. In recent Mac OS versions the green button behaves a little differently than it used to for standard applications. Instead of just enlarging the window it goes to "full screen" mode and it is normal there to have the yellow button grayed out, you should see the same behavior in all the built in apps like Finder, Safari, TextEdit, etc...

It is indeed different in MoI v3 but that is because MoI v3 uses a non-standard mechanism called XQuartz that is hard coded to behave like OSX 10.6 instead of using the current standard OS behavior. MoI v4 has been rewritten to eliminate this and to behave more like standard apps do.

A couple of things you can do if you don't like full screen mode - if you hold down the Alt key while you click the green maximize button it should give the same behavior as old operating systems instead of taking you to full screen mode. Also double-clicking in the title bar will do that as well. When you are in full screen mode you can click the green button again to come out of full screen mode and have the app window back on the main desktop.
