Getting the gimp splash screen to not have a title

[The_Vaxorcist]

In other Window Managers (XFCE and Metacity, but not Fluxbox) The splash screen for the gimp doesn’t have a titlebar. How do I duplicate that in FVWM?

I know you could do:

Style "GIMP Splash" NoTitle

Except that this is specific to the gimp. The same sort of thing happens with other programs (can’t remember which ones). I tried FVWMIdent’ing the splash screen, but I saw nothing special about the gimp’s splash screen.

Unfortunatly, the startup screen isn’t transient. And, I’m looking for a way to make it apply to splash screens from other programs too, without adding a style line for each program.

I was hoping it might be. Unfortunately, you’re probably not going to find a generic solution for all splash-screens across applications. Of course, they’re only on-screen for a short-length of time. Why would you even want to title them (I am unclear whether such windows are actually managed by FVWM in this instance or not.)

The latest Gimp starts in less than a second, I had really hard time even noticing did it have decoration or not (mine did, by the way)

Works for me

Style "GIMP Startup" NoTItle

Gimp uses the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH EWMH, which isn’t used by fvwm. According to ewmh.c it is ignored, which means there is currently no way for a style to match all windows with the SPLASH window type.
