With Qt you do it the same way... Qt offers you everything you need for that by giving you a function which returns the opened
Display. If you know how to do it with Xlib, than do it the same with Qt, i.e. get the Display and do everything with the xlib (qt
wraps around the xlib, so it shouldn't be a problem). QX11Info::display() returns you the display Qt has opened, and with this
display you can set the needed wmhints before showing the QWidget.
