Thanks, René and Karl, for setting me on the right track. However,
looking at the source code for QTableWidget, I saw that
QTableWidget::setCellWidget() merely calls this base class function:

QAbstractItemView::setIndexWidget(const QModelIndex &index, 
   QWidget *widget)

which does the real work. So I will stay with the QTableView and try
that function.

I really like working with QTableView because it is so much more
flexible than QTableWidget ... you can choose your own model, and that
isn't possible with QTableWidget.
