[Qt-creator] Resizing a window

I'm trying to do something that I'm sure is simple but somehow escapes 
me. I've got a QGraphicsView inside a QFrame inside a QGridLayout inside 
a QVBoxLayout inside a QWidget inside a QMainWindow.
I want to resize the window and have the QGraphicsView follow along. 
Instead what I see is the window resizeing and the view staying the same 
and getting covered up.

I find this ui style very confusing, and have been spoiled by 
Embarcadaro's (nee borland)  CBuilder in the windows world. To give an 
example of how I would do it there, I would create the window, plunk on 
a Timage, and set the anchors all on. (akLeft,akTop akRight akBottom all 
are true). It would take me all of 5 seconds to do. Whereas I've spent 
literally hours trying to get the look I want with the QT's style of 
interface (which admittedly is more common in the Linux world). 
I guess my second question is, is there a good tutorial that explains 
all this stuff?

<rant>
I really wish that QT could pick up some of the VCL tech that 
Embarcadaro uses as it is much easier to create a user interface with. 
Even Properties and Events are easier. I think they give away limited 
free versions if the QT guys want to see what I'm talking about.
