Well, your first analysis was correct: the style sheet only gets applied 
to the widget you set it on, and any children it may have (including 
child dialogs). But as you're not making the dialog as child of te main 
window, it doesn't get applied.

So, set the stylesheet one level higher: at the application level. See 
QApplication for that. All dialogs are still part of the application, so 
a style sheet set at that level *will* get applied to the dialog.
