Window decorations missing with IceWM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Choose "lighter" windowmanager (IceWM / LXDE / Openbox)
2. Start qesteidutil or qdigidoccrypto / qdigidocclient

No window decorations (entire window bar with minimize/close buttons).
With KDE3.5 apps and qtconfig window decorations exist.

Under KDE everything is normal. 

OS: Debian Lenny

Window decorations are a total mess sometimes, according to this post 
http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2010/05/open-letter-the-issues-with-client
-side-window-decorations/

However, here KDE applications seem to work fine so the problem must be in 
Window decoration flags. Those are set with setWindowFlags in the following 
files:

qesteidutil/trunk/src/mainwindow.cpp
qdigidoc/trunk/client/MainWindow.cpp
qdigidoc/trunk/crypto/MainWindow.cpp

So the problem must be there somewhere. It's quite a testing challenge to find 
a combination that will work equally well on light window managers, KDE, Gnome, 
MacOSX and Windows.

Some help on this is very much appriciated ;)

Sander reports that Mandriva LXDE seems to work fine.

I need to add that the Window flags MUST disable resizing of the windows 
because UI is not designed to be resized so the user must not be able to change 
the window size.
Not from resize handles nor with the Maximize button.

qesteidutil/src/mainwindow.cpp

At least Debian 5 (lenny) requires QT:WindowTitleHint too
----
setWindowFlags( Qt::Window | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | 
Qt::WindowMinimizeButtonHint | Qt::WindowTitleHint )
----

Created a patch to apply the fix.
Verified that it works (does not affect anything else) on Fedora 13 with GNOME.
Can someone please verify if it works for:
* KDE
* Windows
* Mac

Window decorations now OK under Debian Lenny after applying titlehint patches. 
Tested with IceWM/LXDE/OpenBox and KDE.
