[Qt-interest] Force a Top Level Window to NOT Show on Taskbar?

Hello, All -

I've got a main window for my app that opens up a full-screen video 
output on the second monitor. This full screen output is a second 
top-level QWidget and I just set the geometry correctly, and turn off 
the border with setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint).

That's all well and good, but this full screen widget still shows on my 
taskbar - not really useful and just clutters the taskbar. It's 
automatically opened when my main window is opened, and closed when the 
main window closes - so I dont want it on the taskbar at all. How do I 
stop it from showing on the taskbar? (Or, at least hint to the window 
system or Windows that it shouldn't appear.)

I've read every Window Flag in the Qt Documentation and none seem to 
hint at what I want. Of course, I'm sure I could have missed something.

Any hints?
