Oddly enough, the smooth engine *does* seem to have it, but
inconsistently. (on my system, using Glider, I see it on Totem, but in
Nautilus, the widget doesn't show up and in fact seems to not be
functional.)

All the others I tried, BlueCurve, Industrial, Default, ThinIce, Mist,
and Crux all did have the visible widget, so I think the ones without it
are in the minority. While use of the widget is not universally present
on apps, I think it's better to have it visible where it's present, or
else find a way to make it not present at all.

Otherwise, you're stuck with behavior that's not only inconsistent, but
indistinguishable at a glance-- some windows "magically" have a little
bigger lower-right corner. Having it visually distinct, but still not
universally present probably isn't a whole lot better for consistency,
but I think the lack of handle in the statusbar is an app bug. :)
