That's exactly true! However, I implement somewhat like a splash screen, and I don't wanna use the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH window type as it makes the splash window being "always on top" under metacity. And I don't want the window to be "override redirect" as well. In this scenario, I can't tell the metacity not to show the menu when the user performs Alt-RightClick, on the other hand I have to disable the menu items I mentioned before. That's why I'd like to implement such a behavior. Does anyone have any ideas how? Of course it would be better to have code which works with (almost) all WMs, i.e. use something from standard ;) Thanks, Oleg. _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
