    1. monodevelop &
    2. xwininfo

    Does it say:

      Override Redirect State: yes

    If yes: O.R. allows a program to say 'This window shall be immune to
    window managers'. Useful for some popups (e.g. menus). Marking an
    application window as O.R. is the only reliable way to stop a window
    from getting wm decorations (so you can add your own ad hoc
    decorations), but is against the ICCCM and might count as a bug.

    ICCCM = Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual
            X11 provides "mechanism, not policy". The ICCCM is a 70-page
            troff document containing quite a bit of the policy that was
            left out of the protocol.
