Since I received no helpful information in the programming forum, I'll ask here.
I have a program originally writen under Solaris I'm trying to get to work on Redhat Linux. The problem is that the window managers under Linux are not responding to updates in the colormap nor to commands to turn off window decorations. These commands are still being issued: I can login remotely from a Solaris box and see the colormap being updated and windows appear without decorations.
So the question is how do I set the Linux window managers to behave more like the window managers on Solaris? Specifically, how do I have to set up the window manager to be sure it is using a writable colormap (like DirectColor)? How do I set it up so the window decorations don't appear when I don't want them?
