 * using a more high-level interface than the NETWinInfo/NETRootInfo
 * lowlevel classes.
 *
 * Because of limitiations of the way Qt is implemented on Mac OSX, the WId's
 * returned by methods in this class are not compatible with those expected
 * by other Qt methods. So while it should be fine to pass WId's retrieved by
 * for example calling the winId method on a QWidget to methods in this class
 * the reverse is not true. You should never pass a WId obtained from this class
 * to a Qt method accepting a WId parameter.
