Interesting question! Perhaps you can create an application wide event 
filter to listen for QChildEvents. Test if the child is a widget (using 
QObject::isWidgetType) and if so, set the required attribute. I am not 
sure it will catch new windows (there should be some way to catch those, 
I guess), but it should catch all child widgets created.
There may be other ways; this is just a first idea, not a definitive answer.
