Other window manglers, such as MWM, will notice certain resources in the
client's database, and react to them. Back when I used to use MWM, I
had these sorts of resource settings:
*oclock.clientDecoration: none
*xconsole.clientDecoration: none
*phone.clientDecoration: -maximize -resizeh
*xbiff.clientDecoration: border
*xclock.clientDecoration: border
*XLoad.clientDecoration: border
*xpostage.clientDecoration: border
mwm*iconbox*clientDecoration: menu resizeh minimize
FVWM doesn't pay attention to these; it uses the "Style" directive,
which can be sensitive to the same sorts of resource names as the
application uses, so it is often possible to get the same effects,
although there is no "resource tree" capability.
I was never taught why the above worked, but just did it. Now that I
look it over and think about it, I think the wildcards at the start of
the resource string allowed the setting to appear in MWM's resource
database, where it can pick them up.
But I dunno. Been using FVWM too long now. :)
