However I'm now back to where I was, I can't see anything in the above
document that tells me how to say a window should have no decorations.

The only relevant part would seem to be _NET_WM_STATE and the only one
that says the window should have no decorations is
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN which is not a lot of use really.  None of
the other window hints seems to remove decorations.

So, any suggestions anyone?
