Help needed

[Prabhu Ramamoorthy]

Thank you very much Olivier.

That does lend some clarity. Again I had one small question.

How do you set the motif hints? In my case the application is a java
application. So do you have access to the motif hints through a java
motif toolkit or a library
Or
Could I use a program like devilspie which actually runs in the
background and overrides the hints that the application sends with a
new one so that the window manager understands.

I am picking up things slowly along the way.  Again I apologize for
the list of questions as I am trying to catch up to speed on how
things work.

Thanks  & Regards,
Prabhu
