What examples were those? This seems like a really bad technique.

As already noted, use QOpenGLWidget.

I suppose QOpenGLWindow makes sense if you are implementing something 
like an immersive game where you will always, always be rending your 
entire window content as an OpenGL scene. I can't think of any other 
reason why you'd want to use QOpenGLWindow.

If you are trying to use OpenGL in a portion of a window that is 
otherwise using widgets (or even just multiple OpenGL views), you almost 
surely should be using QOpenGLWidget instead.
