I'm having problems setting the open-look MinimalDecor resource. According to the olwm(1) manual, the resource OpenWindows.MinimalDecor [list of windows] should tell the windows in the list to use only a thin boarder and resize corners. I have tried setting this in my .Xdefaults file and command line arguments to olwm(1). Anyone have an sucess with this? -Bruce Sudweeks-

I have it set in my .Xdefaults file to a list of the applications I want unobtrusively decorated. Something like: OpenWindows.MinimalDecor: xclock xcal xtodo Ever wonder what the window manager could do if there was a MaximalDecor (Rococco, with flying buttresses?) or TastefulDecor (California Beach House?) resource as well?

I believe that shelltools don't set the WM_CLASS property, which is what you really specify on the MinimalDecor resource. Frank G.

That is because it doesn't have the WM_CLASS property. Run xprop and click on
the header of a shelltool and you see that it isn't there. Pick on a program
like xloadimage and you will find that it is there.
In other words, there must be a WM_CLASS property for this to work.
