MS Windows does it just as you explain Sven. X11 also - except the client flags whether it wants to be reparented or not. I think mswindows used to let the client's main event loop handle redrawing the decoration; when an app would lock up its window decorations wouldn't even redraw. However, in win2k, this does not appear to be the case (the OS handles decorations).

Except for X11, most windowing systems do this. for the sake of a consistent desktop the window decorations should probably be handled outside the clients (but based on hints given by the application). Applications that wish to have different decorations can request no decorations and draw them themselves. Could you explain how most windowing systems do this?
