With Glade Designer that lets you set up Gtk-Ui's you can check the option that windows are not shown in the taskbar (unter linux, e.g. in Ubuntu this is the launcher on the left hand side). If I take a look at the ui-file generated by Glade, it says <property name="skip_taskbar_hint">True</property> However I believe that this option is not Gtk-specific, and want to apply this one on my PyQt4-app.
Right now I can only disable the window in the taskbar if i set the hint with the programm devilspie (that communicates with EWMH-standard) to skip_tasklist, which is too much for me.
Does anybody know such an option?
It seems that Qt::SplashScreen does the same effect. You can add this flag to your widget using the following code:
setWindowFlags(windowFlags() & Qt::SplashScreen);
