It is a window manager thing. The default setup for most WMs is to provide
decorations (title bar etc) for all windows not marked as "transient"
(which are basicly popups - menus etc).

The solution is to configure your window manager to not decorate that
particular app.  As Reuben remarks, this is easy in FVWM and tractable
in most others.

Personally, I don't use title bars or borders at all. Makes for a much nicer
desktop to my eyes. See:
