Re: top-level window's title bar handling

[Ofer Oshri <ofer oshri xeround com>]

i have tried that before.  set_decorated(false) indeed did its job but set_deletable(true) did NOT.  so i ended up with a frame_less window, namely no title_bar and borders.  
i still do not have a solution so any further advice will be highly appropriated.

Hello,

IMO, you should play with the methods of Gtk::Window:

set_decorated(false);
set_deletable(true);

(Check the information page:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1Window.html)

Think that in Unix/linux, the decoration are placed by Window Manager,
so depending on which WM are you using, it could or not remove the buttons.
