Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, but was hoping I had missed one, or some combination. Qt::Tool does the trick for appearance, but not behavior. As I said, I want the window to behave normally- no floating, remain visible in the background, have it's own menu bar, etc. Qt:Tool, unfortunately, gives me a window that floats above any other application windows, disappears in the background, and never really gets the focus, so never show its menu bar. I know I can override the disappearing when the application goes to the background behavior, but the other issues remain problematic.

So either a) I need a flag that gives me the Qt::Tool appearance but not the Qt:Tool behavior, or b) I need flags I can add to Qt::Tool to override the Qt::Tool behavior. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing either in the list of flags. Thanks again!
