I hadn't looked at the cli options for a while - blender has -w to force opening with window borders (default) and -W to force without window borders.

| Feb 2, 2016 at 16:16 | comment | added | Frank Greco | @sambler There is no title bar from the window manager. The top of the window contains the names of the sections: Interface, Editing, etc. Using fvwm-crystal's command to close the User Preference window causes Blender to quit. I will certainly look to freebsd or fvwm lists for help if there is no solution within Blender. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 16:06 | comment | added | Frank Greco | @gandalf3 I would certainly be satisfied with being able to access user preferences without encountering this issue. Although I am curious about why fvwm-crystal is not putting buttons on blender, I sense that that question may be difficult to answer. | |

Blender should get a normal window with standard close/resize widgets the same as any other program, the same when a new window is created for preferences. I use xfce and can use Alt-F4 to close a window (that's a window manager setting), also right clicking on the title bar of the window gives a menu with a close option. This would be window manager related, you would do better trying fvwm support options, or maybe emailing the freebsd-questions list or forums.freebsd.org | |
