Hi back!  :)

I actually tried this before posting.  I placed a QScrollArea into Qt 
Designer, and then promoted it to a custom class that inherits the from the 
third-party class that inherits from QAbstractScrollArea.  Designer didn't 
complain, but when I tried to compile, the promoted class was missing the 
setWidgetResizeable() method that QScrollArea provides (since Designer assumes 
QScrollArea is the base class).

QAbstractScrollArea just seems like an odd base class to use, unless there's a 
design reason I'm missing (which is entirely possible).
