It wouldn't be hard. The managed mode code does assume that all
windows have titebars, but it's only hard coded at the tops of a
few functions in column.c (where labelh(def.font) is assigned to
variables). There's already code to deal with titleless floating
windows. You just need to change frame_client2rect/frame_rect2client
remove the floating window check.
