Thanks, but I wish it were that simple. I've got the resize box in the title bar for xfish, but it doesn't work. I tried looking at / fiddling with the window hints for the xfish window in the source code but couldn't really find anything that worked. To clarify my earlier question : Generally, is there a window attribute that allows / disallows a window manager's resizing it ? (I'm looking not only for an answer to my specific xfish question, but also for a better feel for "the whole X thang." ) Thanks again! -Mike -- ===== Mike Schmelzer ====== "Republicans think community service is something = xmjschm@harvspha.BITNET = you are sentenced to after you're caught." xmjschm@mbcrr.harvard.edu = - Ron Brown, Chairman of the DNC =========================== "You make me PATHETIC." - Tom Burke
