windows with no decorations

Howdy I have a need to start certain apps (specifically mplayer)  with no window decorations. I recall that with older versions on gnome this could be done via the window menus. Does anyone know how this can be done with gnome2? TIA Blake Swadling Senior Software Engineer Newton Pty Ltd

SESSIONFILE done fi I am running xfree86-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 and it was inserted as a default setting. check that your version of xfree86-common has this. IF it doesnt you can wither add it or run the script directly from the Xsession file Cheers Blake Swadling Senior Software Engineer Newto
