Gtk2 window decorations, FVWM2, and ICCCM compliance

[zentara <zentara1 sbcglobal net>]

Hi, I posted this question so long ago, I can find the thread,
so I post it new.

To summarize, I was having trouble getting the Gtk2  no_decorations
to work on FVWM2. I've since switched to ICEWM, which works fine.

But anyways, I finally got a bug-resolved report back from fvwm2, and
I thought I would post it here, in case anyone else is looking for the 
answer.

I wrote many moons ago:

The response:

Use Style * MwmDecor to enable Motif decor hints. The netwm hints (also
known as ewmh) have no specification for disabling decorations. Only the
MWM hints have.
