There is no such thing as a menu button in windows, so these concepts
are hardly comparable. On the Amiga, people expect that the right
mouse button will bring up a menu of some sorts.

Glut on every system still is subject to any special points of the
window system. On Windows, every glut window will have a close box on
the right side of the title bar. On Amiga, the close box is to the
left. On Linux under enlightenment, it might be on a completely
different border alltogether :)
