Erm, that's what layouts do. If none of the provided layouts meet your exact 
needs - which from the mockup appears to be to keep the child widget at approx 
1/4 of the parent size - then you can write your own simple layout class.

Alternatively, if that is to much hassle for you then you can simply do some 
manual positioning by calling child->setGeometry() in the resizeEvet() of your 
parent widget. This is just what a layout does by the way except that it does 
it in more cases than simple resizes of the parent. Liek when the size hints 
change for example.

Good luck,

Sean
