Hello,
You can do it at window creation time, but you can't change the window back and forth just because you want some move request to not be intercepted.
Eh? Did you read the xlib manual i linked to? This is *exactly* what they recommend for this type of scenario: http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window/attributes/override-redirect.html
Absolutely not.
Hmm... :-)
So... i have investigated other ways of fixing this. Would you accept a patch that uses _NET_WM_MOVERESIZ to move the window? That might also fix the issue. That message requests the WM to move the window at not X.
Thanks,
