[Qt-interest] QDialog behavior

[Tony Thompson]

Well, now I feel really stupid....in my search for how the parent was
set for my QDialog, I found that I was setting two window flags: 

Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::WindowTitleHint

Not sure I remember why I was doing that but when I removed them,
everything started working on Linux then.  It is odd that these flags
had no effect on the dialog behavior on Windows or OS X but made it
display differently on Linux.

My QDialog does not have a parent, BTW.  My application only has a
QSystemTrayIcon as its interface.

One other odd thing I have noticed about the dialog.  It is set as a
modal dialog which Linux seems to honor.  My system tray icon context
menu no longer works.  On Windows and Mac, it doesn't matter if the
dialog is modal or not, I can still use the context menu on the system
tray icon.

Nice that I start out with a Linux only issue and now the issue switches
to the other two platforms and Linux works fine.
