The TLB_FRAME_ATTR keyword is also ignored on Windows, whether you are
running IDL under Windows, or are logged in to a remote host running IDL
under Unix. I'm willing to bet it's ignored on MacOS as well (anyone
care to confirm this?). For example, the following code is supposed to
create a base widget with no system menu:

base = widget_base(tlb_frame_attr=2)
widget_control, base, /realize

Because of this unreliable behavior, I don't use the TLB_FRAME_ATTR
keyword. Another reason to avoid this keyword is that creating widgets
which can't be moved, resized, or closed normally is completely
non-intuitive for users.

Cheers,
Liam.
