For GNOME you can use Devilspie to do some additional window management
stuff that metacity omits, like window placement and decoration.  Been a
while since I've used it, but you may be able to coerce it to do what
you want.

Re: [CentOS] How to strip out the title bar from xterm windows on CentOS 5 GNOME?

2010-12-17 Thread Gabriel Tabares
 Hi.  Running CentOS 5 with the default GNOME desktop.  Is it possible
 to configure xterm windows not to have title bars to get the most out of
 the available screenspace?

I don't know how to do it with Gnome but, with KDE 3, you can set up a 
shortcut to remove the window decorations on a per-window basis.

 Found a reference to Compiz but the version available through CentOS
 seems old (0.0.13 compared to the current around 0.8 or 0.9) and having
 a double zero version number, I was afraid to use it.

If I remember correctly, Compiz was quite unstable at that time, but I 
may be wrong :)

 I've tried to look this up but mostly find reference how to change the
 content of the title bar; I want to remove it completely.

For an Xterm you'd use an .Xresources file then install with xrdb.
The xterm man page should have the relevant entries.

I don't know if it's possible to arrange for only a particular
application's windows to omit the title bars.  There's a general theme
tutorial here:
