Nope.  It is not on. Here is a list of how the attributes look like:
Release When Close: OFF
Hide on Deactive: ON
Visible At launch: OFF
Deferred: ON
One Shot: ON (But so are all the other panels)
Utility Window: ON
Non Activating Panel: OFF
Has Texture: ON
Has Shadow: ON
Display Tooltip When App is inactive: OFF
Unified title/toolbar look: OFF
Auto recalculate key vie loop: OFF

BUFFERED, Close: OFF, Minimize: OFF, Zomm: OFF
