One additional comment I have probably overseen:
"this->setToolButtonStyle()" is this correct?

*this* points to a QMainWindow instance as you said, so calling 
setToolButtonStyle() on it may not produce the desired effect if you're 
not placing your buttons on a QToolBar. (At least the docs don't mention 
anything about it)
Have you tried to rewrite it like 
this->newbutton->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon) ?

But to be sure, I still advise you to use QToolBar and set its movable 
property to false.
