Okay, this *almost* seems to work. The widgets are displayed, and their
input is passed to the application, but the widgets always appear at
position (0,0) in the parent widget. Apparently I need to override at
least setGeometry() after all. Or which member function?

It turned out I need to cast to QWidget * a couple of times, when I
assemble the UI, because functions such as show(), hide(), setTooltip()
etc. of course expect a QWidget *. Not beautiful, but because it is done
only when assembling the UI I think it's ok.

I said it *seems* to work because I'm sometimes getting segfaults when I
change the UI. Haven't investigated that yet. Anyway, I assume I can
clean that up.

Greets,

Helge
