There is no way to avoid this. Or rather, no Qt way. You have to do one 
of two things: Either redesign the application user interface or write 
OS specific code to set this up.

My choice would be to redesign. Your UI choice here is so non-standard 
that it's going to be hard to do the code and even harder to maintain 
it. And users often don't appreciate non-standard UI choices, because it 
makes the application harder to use.
