And if you remove _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE then what? Qt docks bein=
g decorated twice just like kruler once and yakuake - but only if there's a=
 rectangular shape?
Until then _every_ Qt application will remain completely unchaged in this r=
egard (since the Qt::FramelessWindowHint does set the property)

If it's about getting rid of motif hints, that's fine (we'll add a real _ne=
t_wm hint then) but if it's only about chromium or stupid CSD is back on th=
e tapet (is it?), that's a social problem but iff we /have/ to fix it techn=
ically, there're better ways.

Otherwise you can expect a "chromium broken on KDE" bugreport quite soon an=
d chromium devs to be smart enough to (surprise ;-) google or just check ho=
w KDE apps do it and then add this property as well to their next release (=
since they're probably not stupid)

Sorry, I don't want to be mean or demotivating, but in the latter case this=
 looks a bit like a quick shot to me - and I do not think it would work at =
all.

    Can you please elaborate on this?
    What makes keep_above windows special against other shaped ones in this=
 regard?
    =

    It sounds very much like a special case* and has a solution to me - wha=
t would mean that -motif or not- we actually need either a hint for this or=
 "smarter" handling of shaped clients or fix the clients, but i do not see =
any reason to treat them different just because of the keep_above flag, sor=
ry.
    =

    Also i object the way it's done.
    Iff the  decoration (of shaped clients) depends on the keep_above state=
 it should change whenever this state changes (what's actually confusing en=
ough) and not indirectly after the next shape change (check keep above, sta=
rt resize -> deco gone. this looks like a bug to the user)
    =

    -------------
    * /cough/ yakuake /cough/ which is btw. *not* shaped here (square theme=
 images), *does* set _KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE anyway and actually w=
ants to be an override-redirect window just like the Qt docks probably want=
 to be. (meaning they have to do stacking and focus by themselves)

The following changes are performed:

Chromium to keep above and resize it, the decoration are removed)

This &quot;breaks&quot; Chromium and xeyes with +style. It is still possible to use \

still possible to hack around through the way how Qt Dock widgets request no deco. \
