I've found a possible solution to this:
#define MWM_HINTS_DECORATIONS (1L << 1)
#define PROP_MWM_HINTS_ELEMENTS 5

typedef struct {
  uint32_t  flags;
  uint32_t  functions;
  uint32_t  decorations;
  int32_t   input_mode;
  uint32_t  status;
} MWMHints;
...
		MWMHints mwmhints;
		Atom prop;
		memset(&mwmhints, 0, sizeof(mwmhints));
		prop = XInternAtom(Xdisplay, "_MOTIF_WM_HINTS", false);
		mwmhints.flags = MWM_HINTS_DECORATIONS;
		mwmhints.decorations = 0;
		XChangeProperty(Xdisplay, wnd.GetWindow(), prop, prop, 32, PropModeReplace,
		(unsigned char *) &mwmhints,
		PROP_MWM_HINTS_ELEMENTS);
...
This tells the Window Manager not to add decorations to the window which allows me to add my own without redirecting any events. It uses Motif hints, but these are allegedly supported by most WMs. It certainly works on KDE.
