[Qt-interest] Clarification on "out of scope" closed bug

[Allen Bierbaum]

Thanks for the feedback.  I checked again today and there is a comment
about it not being considered an important enough bug because
"QGraphicsProxyWidget is not high on our priority list".

I guess my question is what is the recommended way to do this type of
thing now that is/will be supported?

Our entire application is based upon using QGraphicsProxyWidgets.  We
use them to place widget panels (floating windows, etc)  in a scene
overlaid on  an OpenGL canvas.  This lets us do compositing and many
other advanced visual effects and back when we created it, the
recommended way to do this was QGraphicsProxyWidgets.  If this isn't
recommended/supported any more, I hope there is a relatively easy
migration path so we don't end up down a dead end.
