Tkinter removing standard window in Ubuntu

Question

Is there a command similar to "wm_overrideredirect" for Ubuntu? I want My program to be displayed without the standard window.

Answer 1

Ubuntu's desktop manager is Gnome, which should support wm_overrideredirect as well as any other. What's going wrong for you when you try that? Can you show (by editing your Q) some as-tiny-as-possible Python/Tkinter script that does not behave the way you want, and tell us how it does behave and how you'd like to behave?

Answer 2

As noted (obliquely) in the manual:

my_toplevel.master.overrideredirect(True)

I tested this on Ubuntu Lucid, compiz window manager, Python 2.6.5. As the WM protocol is ancient, I don't expect the window manager to be an issue.
