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.
