Because the bordless option will fallback to override_redirect if it can't set the MWM hints on that window. This has to be something your window manager can handle (clients with MWM hints that is) -- which seemingly in this case, it can't as urxvt is then setting override_redirect. This does seem counter-intuitive to me, falling back to such a harsh "default" -- I fail to see how not being able to set MWM-hints on the client window should then render the window outside of the window manager's control in this way. Most other window managers would allow you to remove their parent window's border, a la FVWM: Style foo !Borders Of course, in this case, FVWM would already honour the MWM-hints anyway, but that's besides the point. -- Thomas Adam _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
