[Interest] Keeping track of a QDialog position

[John Weeks]

Are you on a Macintosh using the Cocoa-based Qt? If so, that's what you get. Cocoa simply doesn't send move events very often.

We have small tool windows and info windows that are supposed to follow graph windows around as they are dragged. More than one customer has complained that they don't follow, but only snap into position after a delay.
