If I understand correctly, the original poster is (like me) looking for 
some way to configure an application so that there is no bulky titlebar 
with buttons, perhaps even no border.  In my case, I have several 
instances of xclock in the upper-righthand corner of my workspaces, 
letting me quickly know what time it is out on the US West Coast, as 
well as in the Middle East and GMT.  I'm sure that there are other apps 
where this would be advantageous.  Xmms provides this capability as a 
built-in configuration option.

If configuring window decoration on a per-application basis would become 
possible in the near future, an additional facility would also be 
convenient: adding a mechanism for moving a window using the mouse, 
other than by its titlebar (Fvwm does this, through a menu which is 
accessed by clicking-right in the root window).

Something(s) to think about...
