Yes, it can. Applications that negotiate with the compositor will get a positive reply "yes, I'll decorate" from the compositor. The compositor may then choose to draw nothing, leaving the window undecorated. Like you said, in some environments, that's the correct action to take. Applications that do not negotiate must figure out the proper decoration on their own. It's not the compositor's job to enforce the style. If the application then looks out of place, it's the application's fault, not the compositor's. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
