Do you use gb.gtk or gb.qt? Can you provide your project? I guess the bug has 
been fixed since, but Ubuntu is apparently unable to provide a Gambas package 
older than the 2.8 version released sixteen months ago!

Setting the Minimized property to False just tell the window to not be 
minimized.

Anyway, you have the same problem as "Kadaitcha Man": the minimize button 
cannot be removed.

And you cannot set the Border property to "False". The Border property in 
Gambas 2 can take three different values: Border.None, Border.Fixed and 
Border.Resizable.

If you set the Border property to Border.None, the window will not be managed 
by the window manager, and so will have no border.

Where did you see that? Did you read the documentation of the IsBlank() 
function? 

<< IF Trim(txtUserName.Text) <> "" THEN >> is the right way of checking if a 
string is not empty. A faster way is writing << IF Trim(txtUserName.Text) THEN 
>>.
