The documentation states this because otherwise you would not at all  
expect that QPainter would use OpenGL.  You might well initially guess  
that QGLWidgets use OpenGL, but QPainters do something that isn't  
hardware-accelerated.  The docs point out that this is not the case;  
QPainter can do more than you might think.
