But how do you get the widgets to go where you want?

For example, in the example ui file I posted earlier in this thread,
how can I drop a widget -- say a QTextEdit -- in between the first
and second QTableWidgets wrapped in the horizontal splitter in the
middle (from top to bottom) section?

Just playing around, I can get the QTextEdit to end up in the
horizontal splitter, but it always ends up in the right-most
position, after the QTreeTable.
