Perhaps you can look into the source of QAbstractScrollArea to see how 
the layout of the widget is managed. That might give you some ideas. As 
you have access to the separate widgets that make up the scroll area, 
you may be able to manipulate the layout manually.

Note: I did not try this myself.
