[Qt-interest] managing client windows in embedded Qt

[Jeroen De Wachter]

Hi,

We're doing something similar. We have a statusbar at the top of our 
screen and another bar at the bottom.

We do this using one process though.
The server application just shows the GUI and that's that. Extra windows 
(just widgets without a parent) may appear, but they are always created 
in the same process.

You could try creating a class based on QDesktopWidget though and see if 
that fits your needs.

Kind regards,

Jeroen
