I need to get the Qt loop in first. I need some perl stuff to
demonstrate at YAPC. This a perl conference after all.

I am lost too. I hope that my work with Qt and X11 will give me more
handle on the problem. Indeed I even compiled Qt with -g to be able to
step in that code, so I am getting familiar with it.

Last time I checked, I suspected that the relevant code were
in qwidget_x1.cpp in void QWidget::showMaximized() using atoms
interned in qt_intit_internal() (qapplication_x11.cpp). And I don't
remember why I was unable to use that as a model.

I understand that and you will be able to #ifdef out
the Qt stuff. Even at run-time, the default will be
your toolkit for a while. This makes things more complicated
but will allow to get the code in even if badly broken.
