How to override Window Manager placement of windows.

Hello, everyone! Is it possible to create a window in X11/WM, but override the position Window Manager sets for the window. I'm not sure how to use 'override_redirect' flag, and what to do in order to use it. But the problem with the flag is also that it probably will disable all decorations...

feelwindowbox

FeelWindowBox(1x)					   AfterStep X11 window manager 					 FeelWindowBox(1x)

NAME

       FeelWindowBox -	defines  placement policy for certain type of windows, based on desk, window attributes, window size, etc. Useful for xin-
       erama configurations, where windows should not be placed in between screens.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       Area WxH+X+Y

	      This defines the confining region of a WindowBox.

       Desk desk

	      Limits the effects of this WindowBox to the specified desk.

       FirstTry SmartPlacement|RandomPlacement|Tile

	      strategy to use while placing window. The FirstTry strategy will attempt to place window in empty space only.

	      See Also: Window Placement types for further details.

       MaxHeight height

	      places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area.

       MaxLayer max_layer

	      Limits effects of the WindowBox to windows with layer value that falls in range.

       MaxWidth width

	      Places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area.

       MinHeight height

	      places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area.

       MinLayer min_layer

	      limits the effects of the WindowBox to windows with layer value that falls in range.

       MinWidth width

	      places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area.

       ReverseOrder

	      This will reverse order in which Cascade and Tile strategies are applied, making it Right-to-left, bottom-to-top.

       ReverseOrderHorizontal

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

       ReverseOrderVertical

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

       ThenTry RandomPlacement|Cascade|Manual

	      backup strategy to use when there is no suitable empty space.

	      See Also: Window Placement types for further details.

       VerticalPriority

	      Cascading and Tiling will be done in Vertical direction first.

       Virtual

	      Defines that area is in virtual coordinates.

       WindowBox "windowbox_name"

	      Starts a WindowBox definition. ~WindowBox ends it.

       XSpacing

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

       YSpacing

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

	      This is a whole new thing to allow better window placement policy :

	      WindowBox   "some_name"
		  Area	 WxH+X+Y
		  Virtual
		  MinWidth	  width
		  MinHeight	  height
		  MaxWidth	  width
		  MaxHeight	  height
		  FirstTry	  SmartPlacement|RandomPlacement|Tile
		  ThenTry	  RandomPlacement|Cascade|Manual
		  VerticalPriority
		  ReverseOrder
		  Desk	      desk
		  MinLayer    min_layer
		  MaxLayer    max_layer
	      ~WindowBox

	      Note that old SmartPlacement/RandomPlacement has been coopted to be used for Default windowbox.
