[Interest] Screen capture in fullscreen under Windows

[Jérôme Godbout]

I managed to find a solution for the focus and taskbar problems, you need
to give the following flags to make it work properly (which avoid keyboard
focus problems and keep the window into the taskbar):

| Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint |
Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHint

The fullscreen is still a problem, this mostly work if I auto hide the
taskbar, I end up with 1-2 pixel at the bottom of the screen that are OS
related (Taskbar top). The frameless on second screen is still a problem
too. It's not perfect, but it does the job for now.
