I hope my previous email wasn't offensive or downright stupid; no one has
replied. I certainly meant no disrespect. While I'm waiting for a response,
let me throw a specific proposal out there.

First, I assume the correct solution is to extend QWindow and
QPlatformWindow so they can deal with compound states such as
Qt::WindowMaximized|Qt::WindowMinimized, just like QWidget can. Since
QWindow::setWindowState(Qt::WindowState) and Qt::WindowState
QWindow::windowState() cannot be modified, I'm thinking of adding

Qt::WindowStates QWindow::fullWindowState() const;
void QWindow::setFullWindowState(Qt::WindowStates);

and

Qt::WindowStates QPlatformWindow::fullWindowState() const;
void QPlatformWindow::setFullWindowState(Qt::WindowStates);

The existing QWindow::windowState() would then be implemented using the
effectiveState() function from qwidget.cpp (I'd move it over)

I can experiment with these changes and implementing them in the xcb and
windows platform plugins, but early feedback is always great, so I avoid
wasting time.

Thanks for making Qt

Thomas
