[Scwm-devs] Re: done testing style.scm (mostly) (help needed)

[Jason L. <low...@ea...>]

The only way I know to see what hints an app has set is to use xprop to
look at the window's properties. For example the mwm hints go into an
atom called MOTIF_WM_HINTS. You might be able to tell from the code
exactly what atoms correspond to each of those hints. I'll take a look
at some of the apps on my system to see if I come across any of the
one's you're looking for.
