Create your button as normal but don't put it in a layout. Instead, 
position it manually (this means you'll need a fixed window size or code 
to reposition the button in resizeEvent).

Then just track the mouse(1) and when it gets close to your button, 
change it's x and y properties to move it.

It may be simpler to start with the button in a layout until the mouse 
first gets close (then remove it from the layout when you want to move 
it). That way you don't need to determine the initial position of the 
button yourself.
