Actually java.awt.Window is not visible in taskbar because of its window 
style flags(WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW), it has nothing to do 
with decorations.

I've replaced parameter type with Frame instead if Window to avoid such 
misunderstanding. Frame still can be removed from taskbar by 
f.setType(Window.Type.UTILITY) call.

This part of API is supported for Windows only.
