Just a thought - I've never done this, but this could work as a hackish way
of simulating transparency for your purposes.

Take a "snapshot" of the screen:

QDesktopWidget <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdesktopwidget.html>
*desk = qApp->desktop();
QPixmap <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpixmap.html> desktopscreen =
QPixmap <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpixmap.html>::grabWindow(desk->screen()->winId());


Then make a widget full screen, paint the snapshot you just took in a
QImage/QPixmap, then paint a black rect with, say, 50% opacity, over that,
then fill the background of your fullscreen widget with your newly darkened
QImage.

Then make just throw your dialog over *that* - I realize that's a hack, but
it seems like fakes and hacks are all you have left if you really want this
effect...just my thoughts, feel free to ignore!
