Is there a way to remove the Aqua Window Manager Title bars in XMMS? I think it would look much better without them, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

The only way would be to use a different window manager. You are using quartz-wm by default, but you can switch it by editing the config file.

Be aware though that other window managers won;t use quartz acceleration.

It is, however, a pain. If you drag tool panes then suddenly that window bar appears. More of an issue with KOffice apps. But KOffice doesn't really run well under X11.app.

Hopefully Apple will improve operability with KDE based X11 apps in the final version.

It looks like Apple's window manager is ignoring Motif hints that are being set by the applications. Bad Apple, Bad.
