The size() and resize() members aren't virtual, so you will get surprising results if you try to override them. My somewhat unsatisfying solution was to create new member functions that set the size and position of these "windoids". I found it beyond my capability to come up with a foolproof way to force everyone to use "correct" code.

Note that .ui files will compile to code that calls size(), setGeometry() and such. They may do that through a base-class pointer, frustrating your attempts to make them do something different, and making it impossible to simply hide those functions with your own implementation.

Up to you. I haven't been at this Qt thing long enough to know how it would be received.
