Ahh, I see.

Did that already: QWidget.setWindowFlags(...) and also search for 
Qt::WindowFlags in assistant. 

Basically, you flag your windows special and hope, that the windowmanager 
does, what you want.. Since all that is nearly unpossible to predict for 
all permutations of available window managers and possible flags, you need 
to experiment. 

If you can take the woes of window placing yourself, use 
Qt.FramelessWindowHint, otherwise you may want to try combinations of 
various hints with Qt.CustomizeWindowHint.

If you REALLY need more esoteric behavior, I did some hacking with ctypes 
calling into xlibs directly. Hmm, admitted, one cannot get much dirtier, 
even on purpose..

Hth,
Pete
