Hi, As seen in these issues [1, 2], there is some confusion, whether X11 window managers should set the override_redirect attribute (to True) in parent windows. According to Xlib's documentation [3] "window manager clients normally should ignore this window if the override_redirect member is True", however, this makes no statement about window managers setting override_redirect to True themselves. Thus, I would kindly ask for recommendations/best practices in that regard.
Thanks and kind regards Tycho [1] https://github.com/tycho-kirchner/fastcompmgr/issues/13 [2] https://github.com/pekwm/pekwm/issues/174 [3] https://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/libX11/libX11.html
