I *think* this is what someone advised me on recently (I was finding 
the same problems) and, with his advise, I did it like this:

rw_widget_dialogue dialogue(this);
if (dialogue.exec() == QDialog::Accepted)
	{
	this->setText(dialogue.getNewName());
	this->setGeometry(dialogue.sendGeometry());
	}

Now, my dialogue has accept and reject buttons, so I am not sure whether 
this would work if you don't want them.

So, a new dialogue is created and if the OK button is pressed, when the 
dialogue closes, if the OK button was pressed, the values I want a 
returned by two routines I wrote in the rw_widget_dialogue.

For example:

QString rw_widget_dialogue::getNewName(void)
{

	return ui->buttonNameLineEdit->text();

}

Where I return what's in my line edit box on the dialogue box.

Hope I have understood your problem correctly. :~)
