Those "decoration" bits are set to 1 (XWindowAttributesData.AWT_DECOR_ALL) to show all the decorations or 0 (XWindowAttributesData.AWT_DECOR_NONE) to ask the window manager (WM) not to decorate with anything, even borders or resize handles. With xawt.mwm_decor_title property set to "true", this commit adds the ability to set the bits to 2 (XWindowAttributesData.AWT_DECOR_BORDER), which some WMs take as "decorate with only a border", thus effectively removing the window's title bar, but still leaving the resize capability.
