Because the app writer knows how the application should be used. The window manager author can never know this. We have _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE for exactly this reason. But these things are general, and we should allow for the possibility of by-passing these things while still allowing for proper focus/modality/group handling and interaction between clients. > Gkrellm can very well be a TYPE_DOCK, and XMMS is such an exercise in > non-standard GUI it's probably not even worth talking about it. I disagree, Gkrellm and XMMS are exactly why this discussion started :) Applications that mimic real world interfaces are *good* because users can easily use it. Car-stereo looking things like XMMS are popular exactly because of that reason. Removing the window manager decoration is what app writers need to complete their real world look and feel; dotting the i's and crossing the t's. :) -- Bradley T.
