From one of the fascists...

If you want to do this with mwm, try:

	Mwm*clientDecoration: none

You can still get at all the window management functions using
accelerators, or modifier-clicks if you like keeping your hand on the
mouse.

Actually, I prefer giving otherwise undecorated windows a matteWidth
of 3.  This takes little real-estate and looks fairly cool.  I also
tailor my decorations on a per-class basis; for many clients I just
plain never need the resize handles.
