[KWin - Dock Question] - How to hide a window from PresentWindows effect?

[Michail Vourlakos]

Hello everyone,

in NowDock I have managed to subclass a QuickWindow in order to provide 
masking and various visibility states for the dock.

In all the visibility states I am setting for this subclassed window:

m_dockWindow->setFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint|Qt::WindowDoesNotAcceptFocus);
     KWindowSystem::setState(m_dockWindow->winId(), NET::SkipTaskbar | 
NET::SkipPager);


but even though the above code enables me to make my dock ontop or 
onbottom when I need it, it doesnt hide my dock from the "present 
windows effect" and from the "Alt+Tab". I tried to use:

KWindowSystem::setType(m_dockWindow->winId(), NET::Dock);

m_dockWindow->setFlags(m_dockWindow->flags() ^ (Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint));


but it didnt help, the dock is still shown in the window effects....

I also tried:


     KWindowSystem::setType(m_dockWindow->winId(), NET::Dock);

but even though this hides my dock from the kwin effects it also makes 
my dock "always on top" and I dont want this in most of my visibility 
states...


any ideas?

regards,

michail
