I am not sure without trying it but I will leave that for you ;-)

Another possible approach would be to make a simple list-like widget based on 
QGraphicsView that embeds your widgets using QGraphicsProxyWidget, this should 
be relatively easy to do and avoids the headaches of the model view stuff. 
Just layout your widget-items into a QGraphicsLinearLayout add them to the 
scene and you are done. QGraphicsView will provide scrolling for you.

HTH,
