Hi, thanks.

Yes, the code is executed, 
A qDebug() prints the correct rectangle:

qDebug() << "widget rect: " << d_widget->rect(); /* see the code below */

The code is inside a objectFilter whose event() method intercepts 
QEvent::Paint.

The code draws correctly the rectangle for QPushButtons, QLabels, QLineEdits,
and other custom QWidgets on which the same event filter is installed.

What does this mean? Maybe yes, I don't know. What I am sure is that
I call installEventFIlter on the checkbox and that event filter intercepts 
QEvent::Paint

Thanks
