the problem is that the help file wasn't clear enough (for me) regarding how to USE the hint
Or maybe you just didn't read it carefully enough. The first sentence of documentation says: "Window flags are a combination of a type (e.g. Qt::Dialog) and zero or more hints to the window system". What follows is a link to "Windows Flags example" which you could have just run and test what each flag does.

Unfortunately the lack of e.g.: "in using this function, you should first enter the type of the form you're using (e.g. QDialog, QWindow, etc.) and combined with it the hint you want to use it, if applicable (e.g. Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint)" was the problem I got.
It says "combination". To me the term is clear. It doesn't matter if you use Qt::Window|Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint or Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint|Qt::Window or even QWidget::windowFlags()|Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint.

Anyway, thanks for the help. Unfortunately, though, there is still the problem that the hint isn't able to cover 100% the taskbar;
The taskbar is not the client area of the screen, you will not be able to put a non-fullscreen window over it if the desktop manager doesn't let you to.
