That seems to defeat the purpose of that feature in KDE which you're trying to override! > From what > I understand, setting the "override-redirect" attribute of the window to > "True" should do what I want.

In your case, KDE uses "override-redirect" to prevent your app from coming up to the top. The app doesn't get to do the overriding, only the WM. Or that's the impression I got from earlier posting in this thread... Wish I could be of more help! -Mark -- Mark K.
