David thanks for the reply. I am trying to create this widget set for
cross platform usage. Right now I am looking on gnome 3 and windows 7. I
guess in that case I need to look at the windowing system of both the
systems.
Regards,
Bhuvan

Hope you all know how google desktop used to stick to the desktop. even
when the user opens a new window the window will resize itself keeping
the google desktop on the right intact not going behind the newly opened
window. I am working on a similar right widget bar. I achieved
frame-less window ( which was easy) but I don't know how to stick the
window onto the desktop and let the other windows that open resize
according to this window. the width of this window is 300 pixels and it
will take the complete height of the desktop. I also used
"TranslucentBackground" which gave me nice transparency but the edges
don't fill. I am giving a link to the image file of the window.
I think the functionality you want is provided by the window system, not Qt.
It sounds like you want to create something with the properties of a panel or
dock, even if it will be used for a different purpose.
KDE, for example, used to expose this aspect of window management via its
API. If you are using only X11 platforms, you might also be able to use a
Python wrapper around Xlib to give your widget the correct properties.
