Thanks. If I've understood you correctly, the problems with how this window is shown are: (i) it doesn't have a resizing frame, (ii) it doesn't have minimize, maximize and close controls and (iii) it's too big. >> _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL >> _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG, >> _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL >> _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x6, 0x0, 0x68, 0x3, 0x0 >> WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS): >> user specified location: 0, 0 >> program specified location: 0, 0 >> user specified size: 1684 by 1013 >> program specified size: 1684 by 1013 >> program specified minimum size: 478 by 263 >> window gravity: NorthWest The _MOTIF_WM_HINTS request a window title, minimize and maximize controls, but no window menu, border or sizing frame. Unfortunately, on Windows, not having a window menu also means you don't get minimize, maximize and close controls, so that is why the window appears with just a title. I don't see anything in these window appearance hints that says that the window should be resizable (and it appears to be a modal dialog, which are often fixed size). The size of window the application is asking for is 1684x1013 (which I assume is close to your monitor size). I don't know why that might be (perhaps the application remembers the window size from when it's been maximized previously?) I'm not sure if a change to XWin is warranted here, or what that change might be. Can you give an example of another window manager which shows this window as you expect for comparison purposes? Perhaps you can use the XWinrc file to override the style for this window and change it to something more useful for you? >> (The cygwin DLL version number (1.7.17) is independent of the X server >> version >> number, so doesn't really help here.
