Pin Window Program?

Hi,

Is there an application that allows the user to "pin" the window so that it can't be moved or disappear when a new window is given focus?

Re: Pin Window Program?

That would be window manager specific.
Openbox has the options to make windows sticky or always on top but as far as I know, there is no option to stop it from moving.
However, you can disable decorations so then the only way to move a window would be to hold the alt key down and drag with the mouse.
I don't really know about other WMs.

You could check out devilspie if you don't use openbox as well.
