7.4. How do I get a sticky window with no border and focus?

In the current KDE you can use kstart for this (assuming the application you want to start is xosview):
 kstart xosview -window xosview -sticky -decoration none
Try kstart -help for additional help.

In KDE-1.0 you'd need to write something like this in kwmrc:
 [Sticky]
 stickyClasses=xosview,
 [Focus]
 noFocusClasses=xosview,
 [Decoration]
 noDecorationClasses=xosview,

In the current KDE you can set these settings in the control center under Windows/Advanced.
