Author How to remove title on xterm when using Exceed

Hi,

I'm on a PC and using Exceed to connect to unix systems (Sun and AIX).
Once on the unix system I have an application "foo" that is supposed to
create xterm windows without title bars and borders. So I have in my
..Xdefaults file the following line:

*foo.clientDecoration: none -border -title

The app creates the xterm windows but the title and border are still on the
xterm windows.

I can cause the problem interactively by entering the following command:

xterm -name foo

With the command above I expect the xterm window to have NO title bar and NO
border but alas I still get the title and borders. NOTE: It works fine if I
use WebTermX (another X emulator).

Why is my .Xdefaults clientDecoration line being ignored? NOTE: Other lines
in .Xdefaults are working as desired so I know .Xdefaults is being read.

thanks for taking time to answer my question.

The answer is really specific to the window manager (in your case, Exceed).
There might be knowledgable users of Exceed in this newsgroup, but it is
not a Unix question.
