Are Program Windows Self Controlled or OS Controlled?
Are third-party program windows self controlled or are they controlled by the OS?
I can't think of a better way to ask that so here is an example:
I've got Chrome open, when I click on an HTML file instead of opening the existing window, a new browser window will open. Is this Chrome's doing or is Linux telling it to open a new window?
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with Cinnamon desktop 2.6.12, but I feel like this is likely a general Linux question that would apply across distros/desktops.
