[Qt-interest] setWindowTitle in parent class

Is there any way to set a window's title in it's parent class and make  
it stick? I have a number of forms I have designed using QtDesigner.  
In the class declarations for these forms (using the multiple  
inheritance approach, although I believe the same would be true of the  
member approach), all of the classes inherit from the same base class  
that I wrote, as there are certain functions and behaviors I want all  
of forms to share. This works out well-for the most part.

One of the behaviors I want all of the classes to share is the window  
title - this being not a static string, but a file name set at  
runtime. However, if I try setting the window title in the constructor  
of the base class, it is over-ridden by what was set in QtDesigner  
when I run setupUI(). I can, of course, set the window title after  
running setupUI, but then I have to have the same line of code in each  
child class, rather than having it once in the base class. Is there  
anyway to get around this? Thanks.
