Use native window controls (or at least respect button layout for GTK-based DEs)

Description

Both GNOME and Pantheon doesn't have concept of hiding as common way to managing windows, and KDE allows customizing apps' decorations furthermore.

It would be nice to somehow handling system config for better integration into user workplaces.

Thanks for the report! Yet with electron, this is not easily possible. The only "real" solution would be to use the native titlebar. But this looks even worse, I think:

The alternative would be to completely draw the titlebar ourselves. However, every desktop environment has its own way for storing the button layout...

If you think that the above indeed may look better on some systems, we could make the native titlebar an option, I think. This should be pretty easy to implement.
