I have not heard of any standardized window manager hints along these lines. It would require support from each window manager, because unlike Windows, X doesn't let you know when the decorations for your window are being drawn. Have a look at the Window Navigator Construction Kit; this may help you get custom support for this into your application. (E.g., buttons or hotkeys in your app rather than in the window decorations.) http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gnome2/Wnck/index.html -- muppet <scott at asofyet dot org> _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
