And how would you access the controls above the app? I understand you're most likely on kde, I used to shre the sentiment, but extending the close button to the panel would only break things
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reread the OP. They say:
not on GNOME, because you have a panel at the top
And
when usign GTK apps on those [non-GNOME] desktops
So you would not “access the controls above the app”, because having controls above the app is not covered by this scenario.
The scenario is:
- You don’t have a top panel
- You have a maximized GTK app
Which makes the close button be in the corner of the screen, but without actually extending to it.
On topic: never knew this was a problem, guess I got spoiled by the Qt environment
I thought full screen windows were supposed to be above everything else? Including panels?
Sorry, "maximized". I may need to edit some things.
Extend it to the edge of the window. The panel is above the window, no issue here
