[Qt-interest] Questions about windowFlags

Hello, List!

I have some questions about using window flags:

I have more QDialog-s. For some reasons listed below, may I make the 
windowFlags for them to be Qt::Window? Will the properties and behavior of the 
dialogs still be correct, like the close(), rejected() and accepted() slots?

Will it have always the minimize and maximize buttons shown, if I make the 
window flags to be Qt::Window, under all platforms? Or should I also add to 
flags Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHint with the OR operation?

What is exactly the meaning of Qt::CustomizeWindowHint? (it is not clear in 
the Qt doc). Should I also add this, with the OR operation?

The reason why I would like to make the flags for some dialogs, from 
Qt::Dialog to Qt::Window: under GNOME, the dialogs do not show the maximize 
button, even if I add the flag Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHint. I need this 
maximize button. 

Or do you know how to add maximize buttons to a Qt::Dialog type window, under 
GNOME?
