I already found it. Question is how to make Qt work with it :-)

If I delete them, the parent may already have deleted them. So I'd have 
a double-delete.

I don't know. There's long call chains. Someone may delete the parent. 
There's no way to know.

Anyway, the question was whether Qt had something already in place. I 
now see I have to roll my own solution.
