We give a characterization of the Dynkin elements of a simple Lie algebra.
Namely, we prove that one-half of a Dynkin element is the unique point of
minimal length in its N-region. In type A_n this translates into a statement
about the regions determined by the canonical left Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. Some
possible generalizations are explored in the last section.
