In that case, I have no idea how I'm supposed to remove allowed actions using this atom. Reading the specification makes me think that passing a list that doesn't include _NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE should cause it to be removed from the list: 'Atoms present in the list indicate allowed actions, atoms not present in the list indicate actions that are not supported for this window. The Window Manager MUST keep this property updated to reflect the actions which are currently "active" or "sensitive" for a window.'
If the property change isn't reflected, maybe it's an xorg bug instead? Or maybe the properties are getting (re-)initialized by the decorator when the window is mapped? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387711 Title: Unity doesn't respect NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/ar01s05.html : Atoms present in the list indicate allowed actions, atoms not present in the list indicate actions that are not supported for this window. The Window Manager MUST keep this property updated to reflect the actions which are currently "active" or "sensitive" for a window. However, if I set NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS to a list not containing NET_WM_ACTION_RESIZE (along with the MAXIMIZE atoms), I can still resize/maximize the window using the mouse. Only by forcing min and max size in the WM normal hints can I achieve the desired behavior.
