With Qt, I can do this by the codes as follows:
setAttribute(Qt::WA_X11NetWmWindowTypeDesktop);
setWindowFlags(Qt::SplashScreen);
Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0;
flags |= Qt::FramelessWindowHint;
flags |= Qt::Tool;
flags |= Qt::WindowStaysOnBottomHint;
setWindowFlags(flags);
45
* Add support for synchronizing 2D updates with vblank (bug #406)
46
47
* Add support for real-time threads and/or adjusting thread priority?
* Add support for querying the number of CPUs and binding threads to them?
48
* Allow setting multiple icon sizes

53
* Add concept of viewport to fullscreen windows
* See why windows are being rearranged. Is the shield window not up?
* Make sure you can create and show a fullscreen window in one step
* Figure out how to handle OpenGL context lost on Mac OS X (does it happen?)
54
* Write automated test case for multi-draw APIs
55
* Make sure you can build SDL without the renderer to slim it down a bunch

* Check 1.2 revisions:
3554 - Need to resolve semantics for locking keys on different platforms
4874 - Do we want screen rotation? At what level?
4974 - Windows file code needs to convert UTF-8 to Unicode, but we don't need to tap dance for Windows 95/98
4484, 4485 - Verify that SDL's Windows keyboard handling works correctly
4865 - See if this is still needed (mouse coordinate clamping)
4866 - See if this is still needed (blocking window repositioning)

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes. This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.
