[openbox] Another new-user question...

Thank you everyone for help on my "drifting window" question for xv.

I have one other new-user question, and this is probably not openbox
specific, but maybe has a general solution:

Is it possible to have an application (or set of applications, under a
common name) open their windows directly to the root window, rather than be
subject to window manager decorations and controls? For example, if I use
*no* window manager and open several xterms, they fix themselves wherever
the application opened, but there is no decorations to move, resize, close,
etc.. Now, I would like to open some applications this way, while others are
opened with openbox window manager controls incorporated. Hope this makes
sense.

Thank you again,

Dave
