Wow! Cool that you found Telescope useful for your task.
Just curious — what is the reason for using Fremantle without GLES? Other device, not N900?

If I recall correctly, Telescope tries to hide window decorations for its window using this code:

Code:

    // TeleWindow.cpp:89
    Atom windowType = XTools::_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH;
    XChangeProperty(_dpy, _win, XTools::_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE,
        XA_ATOM, 32, PropModeReplace,
        (const unsigned char*)&windowType, 1);

May be for your window manager this does not work. If so, you will have to find which property will hide titlebar. You can try to figure this out using, for example, `xprop` command on some non-decorated window.

Hmm... I have no idea. You can try to test this on some other multi-window apps. Is this only for xterm or for all multi-window apps too?

It would be great if when you will send me a patch with your changes when it will be ready! But if it's not hard to you, please decorate your platform-specific changes with some define to keep code portable.
I'm really happy to see that Telescope is still useful for anybody
