    I don't believe there is (if I knew of a way, I'd be using it).  BUT,
one thing you probably want to do if you have a color system, and are using
both mwm and dm, is to tell the DM not to use any colors (other than b/w)
for the DM borders.  Otherwise, you'll have both mwm and the dm using up
colors in the color table...  To do this, type "mono -on" in the DM command
window before bringing up mwm.  It doesn't really make your system a mono,
it just tells the dm that it only has 2 colors to use for it's borders and
pad headers...

Yup, put the following two lines in your ~/.Xresources file 

Mwm*/sys/dm/input.clientDecoration:     none
Mwm*output*clientDecoration:            none

    Then execute the command: "xrdb -load < ~/.Xresources"
and restart Mwm (either by killing/restarting or by the menu item to
restart it).  Note you only have to execute the xrdb command the first
time you restart mwm after editing .Xresources (this saves you from having
to log out and back in again).  Note: you can also put "resize" instead
of "none" for the option, but not too many people ever resize their DM
command window.

ps: I'm not in graphics or UE, I just happen to use mwm & the DM together,
    *and* just happened to be playing with the DM command window client
    decoration before I read the preceeding article.
