Wouldn't it make sense to just have an implicit parent that is the window size?

So in QML:
Rect {
width: parent.width
height: parent.height
}

Hi,

you're not looking for 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qdeclarativeview.html#ResizeMode-enum 
(potentially combined with QWidget::showFullscreen) by any chance? this is what 
qmlviewer (potentially with -fullscreen) also does for you.

Cheers,
Henrik
