How do I do Motif Window Manager client decorations for secondary windows? Working with X11R4 and Motif 1.0.3 (we will upgrade shortly), I have been trying to put Mwm trimmings on 'secondary' windows; ie there is an application shell (a 'primary' window) between them and the root. I want Mwm trimmings on the shell (which happens automatically) and also on some specific sub-windows. From the documentation it sounds like setting the Mwm*client*transientDecoration and Mwm*client*transientFunctions resources to 'all' for each of these clients should work, but it doesn't. Isn't the TRANSIENT_FOR property of a window set for the windows of the client widgets from the parent information supplied when creating the widgets? Do I need to set this property myself? Do I have to do something with WM_HINTS? What am I missing? Thanks in advance, and please e-mail directly. My request to be added to this mailing list apparently hasn't happened yet.

The window manager should be able to manage any window that is a child of the root window (and is not override redirect). The ICCCM prohibits the window manager from intefering with windows that are not children of the root window. -- Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
