[qt4] Task Bar Type Behavior Wanted

[KMAPSRULE]

What I need is for my application to behave like the Windows task bar or KDE/Gnome Panels, where the usable desktop area for other applications shrinks when my application is up and running. "Alway on top" is not enough as I cant have parts of Other Applications hidden behind mine.

So I may just be having a really dumb day, but I cant seem to determine how to do this .
I would need this to work on both Win2k and various flavors of Linux with QT4, even if someone only knows how to do this in QT 3,looking at a QT3 solution would help solve it for QT4.

int main( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
 
   Qt::WFlags flags = Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint;
 
   QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
   mainWindow mw( 0,flags  );
   mw.resize( QApplication::desktop()->width()  , 200 );
 
   mw.show();
   return app.exec();
 
}//end main()

int main( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
   
   Qt::WFlags flags = Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint;

   QApplication app(argc, argv);

   mainWindow mw( 0,flags  );
   mw.resize( QApplication::desktop()->width()  , 200 );

   mw.show();
   return app.exec();

}//end main()
