Not sure what you mean by "use QProxyStyle("windows") as a base class.

Do you mean to derive from QProxyStyle and use the initializer to set 
the base class to "windows" ?

I see that this is possible with Qt5 using a ctor that takes "key" but 
with Qt 4 QProxyStyle doesn't have a ctor that takes a "key".  Only a 
QStyle *.

But that should work.  Thanks.
