I think because in this special case, Qt may be be pulling some tricks 
to make your application look more native on OS-X. The style may be 
using native rendering of the toolbar when you are using a toolbar at 
the top of your main window, and fall back to rendering by itself when 
put somewhere else. There could be some limitations on what you can do 
in that native bar.

That _might_ explain the difference you see.
