I am trying to implement pop-up and pull-down menus in X11 (using clx). My problem is that the window-manager (eg. twm) intercepts my create requests and reparents the menus, putting titles on them, etc. Is there some sort of hint which says something of the sort "leave this window alone"? If so, what other related window-manager hints are there that I can use for other tool-kit objects (dialogs, etc). Is there a set of "standard" hints (ie. hints which work with most/any window-manager)? Thanks in advance, -Steve Seitz

Use :override-redirect :on.

Read the ICCCM, available from expo via anonymous ftp and xstuff mail daemon.bruce@servio.UUCP (Bruce Schuchardt) (11/14/89)
