[Qt-interest] restoreGeometry of QMdiSubWindow

[RZ]

Thx for the hints,

I'll post the solution so others might find (I remember stumbling over 
it in Qt3 and thought things might have changed):

First, restoring of geometry can not be done in the c'tor. And that's 
because with this mdi stuff - don't ask me why - you need to refer to 
the _parentWidget_.

So correct is:

QSettings settings("MyCompany", "MyApp");
settings.setValue("geometry", parentWidget()->saveGeometry());

QSettings settings("MyCompany", "MyApp");
parentWidget()->restoreGeometry(settings.value("geometry").toByteArray());

The problem is that parentWidget() returned NULL when called in the 
c'tor ?!? - so I call it from outside after show() ...

Regards,

Roland
