Note that QOpenGLWidget uses an internal FBO to enable it to composite 
other widget content. This is accessed via the defaultFramebuffer() 
function. Could it be that you rendering code is directly using id=0 for 
the default framebuffer, which is not the case within QOGLWidget?

If in doubt, run your pure VTK test case and QT test case through 
apitrace and compare.
