3.3.2.1 Customizing Tool Decoration
...................................

The following resources control the decoration of the command tool
(Note: Customizing):

 -- Resource: decorateTool (class Decorate)
     This resource controls the decoration of the command tool.

        * If this is `off', the command tool is created as a _transient
          window_.  Several window managers keep transient windows
          automatically on top of their parents, which is appropriate
          for the command tool.  However, your window manager may be
          configured not to decorate transient windows, which means
          that you cannot easily move the command tool around.

        * If this is `on', DDD realizes the command tool as a
          _top-level window_.  Such windows are always decorated by the
          window manager.  However, top-level windows are not
          automatically kept on top of other windows, such that you may
          wish to set the `autoRaiseTool' resource, too.

        * If this is `auto' (default), DDD checks whether the window
          manager decorates transients.  If yes, the command tool is
          realized as a transient window (as in the `off' setting); if
          no, the command tool is realized as a top-level window (as in
          the `on' setting).  Hence, the command tool is always
          decorated using the "best" method, but the extra check takes
          some time.
