While digging around, I came across this:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qdialogbuttonbox.html#ButtonLayout-enum

But it's weird.  This enum defines WinLayout, GnomeLayout, KdeLayout, 
and MacLayout, but what the heck is it for?  There doesn't seem to be 
any use of it.  Neither setting it, nor (which is what I would want) 
query it.

So if I have a QDialogButtonBox in my dialog (which I do), if I would be 
able to query whether it uses GnomeLayout or KdeLayout, this would 
effectively tell me in which environment my app runs.  But there doesn't 
seem to be a way to query it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
