this is not a way to set a window to fullscreen. How should the window manager 
know that this is fullscreen? It sees such a geometry and says: wow that's 
wrong, it would overlap with the panel. That's obviously not what the 
application wants and so I give it the area without the panel.

If you want to set a window to fullscreen use the proper EWMH hint. I'm not 
sure whether Qt provides a hint for it, but KWindowSystem does.
