Just as a sidenote, I think my play improves in Full Screen. I find
it easier to consentrate, and I feel I'm more "serious".

Hmmmm. I can see several ways to solve this.

- As you suggest add a button to do "Undo"
- Use the middle mouse button as undo.
- Clicking on a special area, (where?) will undo the move.
- Implement mouse gestures ala Opera.
- Displaying the whole toolbar.

The first one is simple, but where do we put the button? Someone will
also find this button annoying.

Using the middle button in also simple, isn't it, but many mice don't
have a middle button or a wheel.

Clicking a special area to undo. Sound like a good idea, but I can't
figure out a good area. Anyone? What about the bearoff tray devider?

Mouse gestures ala Opera is to much work, I guess. I won't recommend
this.

Displaying the whole toolbar, maybe. I just won't be "Full Screen"
anymore.

Any other suggestions?

I was thinking of adding the score in the window frame. Is that smart?
