OK, fine. Don't use a table view and do it the hard way instead. 
Whatever suits you. :-)

Qt can, AFAIK, put the icon on the right, but I think it will normally 
only do that if you are in RightToLeft layout mode. You could try to put 
just your list view in that layout mode, but I would not be suprised if 
your texts appear inverted too or other similar weird things happen. I 
did not try it myself, so YMMV.

You could also try the route you are at now. However, you have to do it 
slightly different than you are doing now. You don't set the position in 
the constructor. Use the copy constructor to create a new style option 
object, and then just set the decorationPosition to Right. Then pass 
that new styleoption to the base class implementation. That should work. 
Again, I did not try this myself.
