I am trying to implement pop-up and pull-down menus in X11 (using clx).  My 
problem is that the window-manager (eg. twm) intercepts my create requests
and reparents the menus, putting titles on them, etc.  Is there some sort of 
hint which says something of the sort "leave this window alone"?  If so, what
other related window-manager hints are there that I can use for other tool-kit
objects (dialogs, etc).  Is there a set of "standard" hints (ie. hints which work
with most/any window-manager)?
Thanks in advance,
