That's interesting info. These are not derived from QGraphicsWidget 
since I used to add these to the QGraphicsScene with addWidget().

Would there be an example somewhere? It is also interesting to know how 
I can add these widgets to Creator, I assume with a dll.

I am already trying to add DropShadow etc to my QML application and I 
need qmlRegisterType for that too, so it seems. No idea yet how to use that.
