The meaning of the actual symbol would depend on your theme. Go to Settings Manager > Window Manager and it the Button Layout, you should have 2 buttons to the left of the title. Hover over the second one in and see what it says. Or,

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/button_layout

...where:

# button_layout :
#    O = Option menu
#    T = Stick
#    H = hide
#    S = shade
#    M = maximize
#    C = close
#    | = title

Re: ["stick" button] What's the + in the title bar?

Got it - thank you.  It's the "stick" button, described here:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … ws-in-xfce

If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to stick the window to the screen, making it visible on all workspaces.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/625746/ … -title-bar

Stick / unstick windows

If you "stick" a window, it will be visible at the same place on all your workspaces. The same repeated action make a window to stick/unstick."

Click the stick/unstick button of the title bar open the window menu button from the title bar and choose “Stick" or "Unstick" item use the Alt + F10 keyboard shortcut.

FYI, when I "rearranged" the buttons in that layout manager, I needed to go back to Settings then return to that manager, to see the updated arrangement.

Thanks again -- appreciated.  :-)
