The window decorations are created by the window manager. The usual way is to create a window slightly larger than the window being decorated, and reparent the client window into that one. What you could do, is to listen to the events you want from the parent of your window. I'd strongly advise against it, though. Users expect consistent behavior when clicking window titles and similar, and circumventing that isn't nice, even if you manage to get along with the window manager about it. What is it you are trying to accomplish? Maybe there is a better solution. -- Måns Rullgård mru@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
