The Qt documentation ( https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qapplication.html#desktop ) says this about QDesktopWidget: On X11, it is also possible to draw on the desktop. However, I've not been able to understand how this can be done. I found a very old C++ example ( https://doc.qt.io/archives/3.3/desktop-example.html ) but I couldn't port it. Installing an eventFilter on the returned QDesktopWidget won't get any QPaintEvent (only PolishRequest and Polish events), and subclassing QApplication to return a subclassed QDesktopWidget won't do anything too. Does anybody know anything about this?
