If you use any shell widget that has a VendorShell subclass, you will have
programmatic access to a resource called "XmNmwmDecorations".  This resource
allows you to set the decorations of the shell window.

A couple of comments on VendorShell and this resource:

	Note that this resource is of type int, and there isn't any very
	specific documentation on what values are valid for this resource.
	You will have to experiment with it.  You might want to use an 
	app-defaults file at first to find out what numbers correspond to
	what decorations, and then hard code it in your	application once you
	establish the desired results.

	This may be obvious, but note that this widget does NOT cooperate
	well with ANY window manager BUT mwm.
