That occurred to me, but I am not able to implement that safely.

The event seems to be generated by QGraphicsView, then handled in the viewport 
event and then passed to QGraphicsScene. But the user might install a subclass 
of QGraphicsScene in the view and might inject other events, which would be of 
the wrong type and cause a crash.

I cannot guarantee that I wouldn't be breaking anything.
