[Interest] Making a "popup" QLineEdit

[Etienne Sandré-Chardonnal]

I tried that, creation and positioning works. But I cannot manage to set
the focus on the created widget, setFocus() does nothing as the widget is a
window. I'ts quite annoying for the user experience that the QLineEdit does
not pop with focus.
