Under X11, is it possible to restrict the movement of a Qt window? Is it possible to completely prevent a window from being moved?

What about moving the window back to its previous position?
Read this: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qwidget.html#pos-prop (and read the Warning carefully).

If your case is simple, you can also try different types of windows which dont move - tooltip / splash screen.

I found a way to do this using a Qt event filter. This event filter does not actually filter any events. It does, however, looks at the move events and moves any window back to its initial location. Thanks.

Hi,

1.Ignore move/change pos events ?
2. Create a tooltip style widget which can't be move; like, creatin a dialog and setting a flag to look as tooltip>

SOme ideas.
