SDL can make non resizeable windows as far as I can remember, (...)

I''m doing this:

screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(1024, 768, 32, SDL_OPENGL );

and get a non-resizable window, so it seems to be standard for SDL at least when doing GL stuff.

Hi,
after your responses, I gave up the thought of makeing my OpenGL window non-rezizeble under Linux.
But now, another thought suddenly poped into my mind:
xmms is not resizable, and if I create a dialog-window with wxWindows (wxGTK) it is not resizable too.
How to they do that? Can''t I do it the same way?
Thanks!

It''s not resizable because the WM respects its request to be non-resizable. You could, concievably, have a wm that didn''t do it, and the app would have to just deal with the wm resizing it.

I hate windows which expect to be a certain size, because my favorite window manager (Ion) totally ignores a window''s request to change its size. If you want your programs to be very usable, test them in Ion (or ratpoison) before releasing.
