Yep! I was frantically searching for your solution and stumbled across that function
in QDockWidget, but then was disappointed to find it doesn't exist in QWidget or
QMdiSubWindow.

So right now, I'm trying to decide if:
- I just live with it and use QMdiSubWindows
- Make my own custom QMdiSubWindow where I set Qt::FramelessWindowHint but then reimplement the resizing functionality on my own
- Switch to QGraphicsView and QGraphicsProxyWidget

What I'm trying to do is create a surface where users can add different types of preexisting widgets, resize them individually as they choose, arrange them however they choose etc. So basically a customized dashboard that they can layout however they choose.
