I don't think you can find that anywhere.  XMMS started out as an 
reimplementation of the ms-windows program Winamp.  XMMS is able to use 
the same skins as that program.  To immitate the look completely it is 
necessary to hide the window manager decorations.

There is an option in the preferences window called "Show windowmanager 
decorations".  If you turn that on, xmms will be a more well behaved X 
application.  I generally recomend people to turn it on, but many seem to 
prefer the more k-rad elite look you get without window manager 
decorations.

It's currenly subject to our webmasters sense of humour.
