Re: NSPanel with just a close button & title on title bar?

You're right, that will crash as soon as the window resizes.

Here's one way to remove them without crashing:

//Remove those buttons we don't want.  removeFromSuperview will confuse
the window, so just make them invisible (zero frame).
[[window standardWindowButton:NSWindowMiniaturizeButton]
setFrame:NSZeroRect];
[[window standardWindowButton:NSWindowZoomButton] setFrame:NSZeroRect];
