No, there isn't. You can, however, most likely, achieve the desired behavior by applying a minor patch to cmd/wm/wm.c. Since I know virtually nothing about X11 on OSX, I don't know how to find the height of the top bar, so you'll have to enter it manually (or I'll go digging into Ion later, but no promises).

If ion contains specialized code for MacOS X I can probably figure it out.

As long as wmii checks rect.y everywhere, rather than just assuming it's 0 (no promises there either), this will work.

Okay, I'll look into this. Would there be any reason not to make rect.x,rect.y,rect.width, and rect.height available via 9P in wmii-4? That way I can confine whatever modifications are necessary to the tools that I write. Though I have to admit that offhand I can't think of too many other cases where one would want to write these values, but there are probably a number of useful reasons for being able to read them interactively.

Here is a diff from wm.c; the lines will probably be slightly different, since I'm using 4-current:

}

Thanks.
