That's IMHO exactly what happened. I created the splash with
gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP) instead of GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG.
And AFAIK popup windows are ignored by all WMs (just like the windows
that pop up when you press <control>+mouse in a xterm) and are under
total controll of the creating program.
Therefore popup windows are only useful together with grabbing the pointer
(which is the case for e.g. the xterm dialogs and the various gimp
context preview popups) and not at all as dialog-like windows.
So I believe this is not a WM issue at all but rather the
desired behaviour of popup windows.
BTW, now that I changed it back (and set the "allow_shrink" hint to FALSE)
how does it look? At least enlightenment now omits the border and shows
only a title. (I didn't configure anything on the WM side)
