You are ignoring my (or the original poster's) argument that this

any guide.
Double clicking the title is a common function, you just don't know what
will happen, or will expect something different when coming from another
platform.
Since you cannot really know what will happen when you click one of
those buttons for the first time, the learn effect is exactly the same;
I agree that double clicking the header is more obscure, but not badly
so. Besides, with workspaces you're not really dependent of that
feature, anyway.
You may think that this benefit is minimal and does not outweight the
disadvantage of adding more visual noise, but please allow others to
disagree.
Sure, I always allow others to disagree -- doesn't mean they're right
though (to be fair, it also doesn't mean I'm right, I'm just stating my
opinion, anyway) ;-)
