1967.0. "Bannerless Windows?" by SITBUL::KLEINSORGE (So sue me.) Fri Dec 22 1989 18:02

    
    Does anyone know of a way to create a window that has no banner --
    without using Override Redirect?
    
    Override Redirect has some bad attributes that I don't want to spend
    a great deal of time trying to compensate for...
    
    Anyone have an idea?  A trick?  Whatever?

        Perhaps ... if the window manager creates its own
        "pseudo" root window (the DECwindows window manager does)
        ... you can create your window as a child of that instead
        of as a child of the true root.
        
        Or perhaps you could reparent your window to the wm root
        after creating it normally (leaving an empty banner
        behind? naaaah :-)
