hi all
I am looking for a program that will "hide" a window when it opens under X11. There is a program called devilspie but it requires gnome-panel to be running to work.
On some of my workstations I dont have gnome-panel running.
So I was wondering if there is a program like devilspie that does not require gnome-panel to be running to hide a program window.
The window I am trying to hide is the openoffice impress window that edits the power point. I just want to show the power point.
is there such a program or is there a better method to not show the edit window on impress and just show the power point.
Thanks
Jerry

Don't know if that's what you're looking for, but when you edit a presentation with Impress, press F5 to show only the presentation.

Niki,
no-one is there to press F5. Its a controlled display. Thanks for the suggestion though.
"openoffice.org -h" tells you some options to run OpenOffice. Perhaps you can add "-show" to get OO to automatically display the presentation.

in fact I am doing the -show option and what happens is before the "show" begins all the power point creations editor shows on screen then the show begins. I dont want to show all the editor screen stuff. I want to "hide" that window.
Again this works using devilspie but gnome-panel must be running. I dont want to run gnome-panel on "some" of my installs and am looking for a similiar way in X11 to hide a window based on the title name.
Thanks,
Jerry

If it's a "static presentation", perhaps a PDF display would be adequate? You could export your presentation to the PDF and use a full-screen PDF display program to display it.
I'm not sure if pdfcube supports full-screen as you require, but it looks pretty cool so you might want to check that one out.
