I've been fiddling with MWM resources, and I've been
trying to change the decorations for a particular application,
either from within the application or from its resource 
file.

I changed the clientDecoration and clientFunctions resources in my 
.Xdefaults, and produced the desired effect in ALL my windows. 
However, I've had no success on doing it for particular applications
WITHOUT using the .Xdefaults.

I know there's something called WM_HINTS that has something to do
with this. However, the documentation I've got on that stuff is 
REALLY lame (surprise???).

Any responses, either directly or to the newsgroup, will be much
appreciated.

Thanks
