[Interest] Keeping track of a QDialog position

[Igor Mironchik]

Hi again,

I've just play a little with

bool nativeEvent( const QByteArray & eventType, void * message, long * 
result )

and it seems that Qt doesn't receive any events when window moves...

So, what can you do then?!

I don't know exactly, but I guess that without some low level code (on 
Linux uses of some X11 functions) you can do nothing...

Am I right?
