This looks promising - I had never stumbled across QWidgetAction before. Although now 
that you point it out, I've discovered the section of the QMenu documentation that I 
previously skimmed over that mentions it!

Is the code in your paintEvent() something you can share, if there's anything noteworthy
happening in there?
