No, there's no way to force some other program to do what you
want.    Most top-level windows should not be override-redirect.
The main uses   for o-r are menus and tooltips.  If an
application is setting o-r on a   top level window, that's a
bug, IMO, but they're free to do it.  Additionally, you "need
this."  Please explain why you think you need   it, and we'll
try to help you come up with a different approach.   More
