    Hi,

    I'm trying to get keyboard focus on a window, seems
    like without a window manager, this is not possible at all,
    I'm trying to run mozilla as the only window application,
    but my problem is that I don't want to display the title bar,
    but still would like to be able to enter text
    (For example, search text in www.google.com.)
    With a window manager, I tried some options like the
    "squeeze title" on twm, and tried using metacity.
    I tried playing with the browser (mozilla) options within
    localstore.rdf but without success.
    I tried putting some options in .Xresources, something like
    *showTitle: off
    *titleBar: false
    but somehow it does'nt seem to take effect. Please note that
    metacity is my preferred window manager.

    Thanks,
