Didn't try.

Ok, this sounds that I have to force migration to Qt Quick :-)
The problem is that the application is completely Qt widget based so far
and I hoped to get some gesture support in it. Let's say to switch
between tabs in a QTabDialog by wiping.

But when I understood Gunnar Sletta's blog post about
QWidget::createWindowContainer() correctly, Qt 5.1 will bring some way
of mixing Qt Widget based application with Qt Quick.

I will play with it a little.

Thanks
