Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 36498
Floating windows should also use non-decorated windows on Unix

Currently we use normal windows on X for our floating windows. This design has several bad impacts on the visual presentation and their behavior. See #i12701 which must be solved on system independent layers due to this design. We have to fix this for our next version.
SSA->PL: Not sure if this still applies, on the other hand a rework of the floating windows would be required anyway if we want to have the same behaviour for floating windows as we already have for floating toolbars. But I don't see this for OOo 3.0...
pl->cd: You could use the same style as our undocked toolbars do (see also the rollup/rolldown issue).
cd: We are working on this issue as we want to have docking windows support in the frame based layout manager. This would be a sub-issue of this effort.
