User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217
Build Identifier: minimo Ce

Pocket PC places the Title Bar (including the Start Menu) at the top of the
screen, but it appears on the bottom in minimo CE.  In addition to the icons
that normally appear on the top line, the Title Bar is also displaying the SIP
pop-up that normally appears at the far right on the bottom bar.

The Title Bar, Start Menu, and the icons work as they are supposed to work
except that minimo will not close by any means I had at my disposal.

In addition, minimo appears in a movable window.  You can drag the window around
the screen by tapping and holding on the top bar.

Reproducible: Always

russ, what version are you using or did you just build it yourself?

The location of the start menu, i think, is caused by the lack of an installer
-- apparently, the installer tells what kind of an application it is.  If it is
a PPC2002 app, the start menu is on the bottom (which is the default) and if the
app is a PPC2003 the start menu is on the top.  I could be wrong -- but I agree
we should be consistent with the type of device we are running on.

I have since fixed the "movable" window that is why i asked above what version
you were using. 

Thanks for the input.

Doug,
I was using the compiled .002 version (since I don't actually have the SDK).
I've since tried .003, but I can't get it to even start.  (I get the constant
wait cursor.)

This has been fixed.  Our link option was:

"-SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE"

instead of

"-SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE,4.20"
