I could be entirely off base here, since I don't have my X Window book
handy, but I'm under the impression that controls are supplied by the window
manager, not the application. In the X Window system, it's up to the
application to supply the client area, and the window manager to handle the
window. If you asked for a managed window, you would get whatever window
widgets the current window manager offers. Not all window managers - or even
styles - offer the same set of controls.

To get a menu, 'splash' screen (with no controls) or something like that,
you ask for an unmanaged window, and it's up to your application to write
the window controls (if any).

I could be entirely mistaken.
