Actually, I've already demonstrated to my satisfaction that this is not true at all. One of the first things that I tried was switching themes. This got me different kinds of borders and titlebars on the windows that had them, yes, but it had no effect whatsoever on the xterm windows. All the themes left xterms without any borders or titlebars. This is conclusive proof that the turning on/off of these decorations is not controlled by the theme. Yeah, I know that it's done by the wm. That isn't a clue at all. How do you tell kwm to turn them back on? Why would it suddenly change its behavior? Was it something I said? I'll apologize to kwm, if I can find the right language to apologize in ... Or maybe I should just see if I can get it to turn them all off. If I could figure out how to do moving, resizing and (d)iconifying without window borders, I'd have a situation a lot like the good old xwm, which gives you a lot more usable screen space, but no longer seems to be included in any linux distributions. ;-)
