Then write a window manager that does this. All these flags are only
hints for the window-manager, the window-manager can choose to ignore
them. The developers of the window-manager might not want to allow the
menu to ever be hidden.

Qt cannot control the window manager titlebar, if you want that in your
app, then tell the window manager to not draw and title/border for your
window and draw it yourself.
