You may want to investigate using a QGraphicsView as your base widget. 
It allows you to easily move and scale your view as well as the 
individual items on it, and you are able to put widgets on it as well.

Having said that, a custom layout manager is also an option. I guess it 
depends on what kind of behaviour you want to achieve and how scalable 
it should be. Just moving around a couple of buttons is hardly worth the 
trouble if you need to support two layouts (use a QStackedWidget 
instead, and just create those two layouts seperately), but if you need 
to be way more flexible, it may be worth creating a custom layout or 
using QGraphicsView or something like that.
