Re: X launch hijack?

I previously wrote in this thread:

The other thing I don't understand is why you need to do that at all.
X11 programs are entirely capable of having their window be full-screen
size even after a standard xinit/startx startup, so I would think you
wouldn't need to do a special startup to get full-screen, unless that's
an openttd issue.

[or, as you've correctly pointed out, a window manager issue ...]

to which Louis Epstein <le@lekno.ws> writes:

The issue may be with my .xinitrc invoking the window manager,
apparently that was not there before (AND I used a different
window manager).

I'd be surprised if it has anything to do with .xinitrc, but not
surprised if some window manager has an always-on-top bar of some kind.
twm, for example, does not.  As Gerhard indicated, window managers
that have tool bars may also have a way of getting rid of it, or at
least of disabling its always-on-top property.
