We should probably add a flag, and find a way to fit the tree options (on, off, 
auto) into Qt::WindowFlags..

This is unexpected, we've been running for example Qt Creator on Qt 5 
artifact-free. As you note elsewhere it could be a 10.6 issue.

I don't want to bring setUnifiedTitleAndToolBarOnMac forward to Qt 5. There are 
two reasons for this:

- It's a horrible hack. In Qt 4 we move the toolbar out of it's containing main 
window, embed it in an external NSView, and then #ifdef all the layout code to 
account for the missing toolbar. 

- It emulates a native toolbar. This gives you something that looks similar, 
but behaves slightly different.

Instead, I see two possible replacements: 

- Wrap NSToolBar in a QAction-based API. This gives you access to the real 
NSToolBar, with perfect native look-and-feel (Including the customisation 
menu). The downside is that you have to play by the NSToolBar rules. Research 
work on this option is underway, see 
http://qt.gitorious.org/qtplayground/qtmacextras.

- Expand QWindow to cover the toolbar/titlebar area. Qt would then be free to 
draw the toolbar is it likes. Chrome does something like this to implement 
tabs-on-top, so it's not completely unprecedented.
