It's not up for the apps to decide that if they want the window to be managed. Some window managers might have special policies for such windows if they had a semantic hint of the window's use, but completely mismanage the window if the app thinks it knows better. > For accessibility reasons it is vital that such windows not > be override-redirect. For accessibility reasons the WM should have an idea how the window really should be managed under that particular WM. There's a reason why it's called a window _manager_, although most WMs hardly manage windows, but just provide ways for the user to manage them. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
