this is very nice!
I'll try bypasswindowmanager flag on QT, it should be the same I guess ?

Oh, that's a stupid, dirty and not releasable selfmade application
that simply scans for directories and all executable files in a
speficic place.
Subdirectories are showed with a drawer, while files are showed with a
default icon.
Clicking on a drawer enter the directory , clicking on an executable
file launchs it and shows stdout/stderr on a popup window.
If filename.png exists the icon is replaced with that, if
filename.nodialog exists no output feedback will be showed, if
filename.autoclose exists when the application exits it closes the
output dialog automatically.
When an application quits a 5-second dialog shows the exit status.
A filesystem watcher auto updates the current window if I add, remove,
rename files or icons.

I wrote it as after playing with apt-get on debian I just filled other
launchers, too many icons and some important missing, and above all to
launch my several mdbus scripts without the pain of write a .desktop
file.
