First off, sorry, I'm using a more modern Qt (4.4/4.5)

However, if you are writing an opensource application and are interested, I have
a GPL licensed FingerScrollArea widget that works nicely and still allows
buttons in the scroll pane to be clicked.

Just substitute FingerScrollArea for ScrollArea and you're done :)

Whilst it was written for Qt4.4 it may be possible to use it (with some mods)
for earlier Qt apps.
