Hi-
  I think I must be missing something related to creating and using
pipe-windows. I wantes to create a real rull-screen window, something
without window manager decorations. I figured that perhaps if I created
my own pfPipeWindow object (I'm using the C++ interface here), and
performed the following operations on it:

  // Initialize a full screen window
  pwin = new pfPipeWindow(pipe);
  pwin->setFullScreen();
  pwin->setOrigin(0,0);
  pwin->open();

With the above piece of code, I get a minimal window which consists of
nothing but window manager decoration. When I #if-out the above region,
I get the default window that is almost full size except for the WM
decorations. So, I have two problems:

1) Why doesn't the above piece of code at least create for me a window
similar to the default window?
2) If the above code is not how one creates a really-full-screen window,
then how is one supposed to do that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

-Chris
