No, there's no way to force some other program to do what you want. Most top-level windows should not be override-redirect. The main uses for o-r are menus and tooltips. If an application is setting o-r on a top level window, that's a bug, IMO, but they're free to do it. Additionally, you "need this." Please explain why you think you need it, and we'll try to help you come up with a different approach. --Jeremy _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
