Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the following within the QComboBox:
view()->installEventFilter(this);
However, I still only receive events from when the mouse is over the
popup. All the interactions outside the popup still appear to be going
to the QComboBoxPrivateContainer but I do not have access to them.
This limitation is odd for Qt.

I may implement my own popup from a QListWidget. Then I will have
direct access to it. Do you see any other alternative?
