This is highly platform and window-manager (X11) specific. Qt itself 
does not support this. What you could try, is "ask" the window manager 
to draw your window without borders or title bar, and draw them 
yourself. That also entails implementing stuff like making sure you can 
move and resize your window yourself.

In general, I would say: don't do this. Let the window manager decide 
how your windows are decorated. That way, your application will fit the 
style set on your platform best.
