Well, I have a need for it, but I've been approaching the problem from the 
other side. I just configure my window manager, jwm under Linux, to do this for 
me based on window names. My environment is very small and I can afford the 
effort to do that. It might be nice to see if there's a standard or 
pseudo-standard way in an X environment to do this. I'm spending some time 
right now inside JWM and X code. If I find anything, I'll post it here.

My other way of tackling the problem was to clear the borders and use an empty, 
inactive group to draw my window background for me (borders, background, and 
pretend titlebar). (Note: I did this because it was the fastest way I could see 
at the time to replicate another graphical environment's look-and-feel). At 
some point, I'll probably add an invisible box in the titlebar area to handle 
window movement. Right now, my windows have fixed placement on the screen and 
cannot be moved, minimized, or closed.
