I was wondering this myself recently and apparently the answer is no, according to this node. You can have a window with no frames (like this) or you can write your own callbacks and disable them. demonstrated here and here. Writing your own callbacks seems to be the sanest alternative. -- jpg	[reply]

Thanks for your help. I've been looking at callbacks on the close button to achive what I need. Thanks again!	[reply]

No, because the decorative frame (where those buttons live) is not created or controlled by Tk, but rather, by the window manager, which is platform specific and user configuration specific. Of course, it's not really impossible... but it would take a lot of chicanery to do it from your perl program, and you'd have to worry about handling various window manager scenarios. Better, probably, would be to configure your desktop environment so that your window manager knows not to put those decorations on the window in question. In X, the .Xdefaults file (and related mechanisms) would be one way to do it. MS Windows may have something similar.	[reply]

if you really, really want to do this, you can use `wm overrideredirect`, but that gets rid of all user stuff like resize handles. Remember that wm commands are "hints" and may not always work...	[reply] [d/l]
