Ui_MainWindow is more like a panter. It's not an actual dialog. It
creates the widgets and adds them to a dialog.

Consider:
   QDialog dlg;
   Ui_MainWindow dialogPainter;

   dialogPainter.setup(&dlg);

The dialogPainter sets up the dialog's widgets on the supplied dialog.
(Yes dialogPainter might not be a very good name for this.)

Best way is to stop treating Ui_MainWindow as a dialog. Have a look at
the produced header to see what it does.

Good luck,
