[Interest] Taking back a widget from a QBoxLayout?

[Roland Hughes]

Not a troll but willing to take a bit of a stab.

If one is removing a widget from a layout it's generally to reparent it. 
You needed to copy the line above the note.

---

Removes the widget /widget/ from the layout. After this call, it is the 
caller's responsibility to give the widget a reasonable geometry or to 
put the widget back into a layout.

---

A widget removed from a layout tends to not have a reliable geometry. If 
one is going to delete the widget a better question would be, why bother 
removing it. You have the pointer already so just do

widget->deleteLater();

I don't know why removing it would keep the parent (the layout) then your subsequent call to delete deleted the widget and it's layout, so the parent was left dangling.  I would have expected that the parent be nulled out, rather than keep it referencing the layout it had just been added to and removed from. Perhaps a Troll can comment?
