actually, i do not know if that is possible. i was looking through the
Qt Stylesheets page and all the stylesheets let you do is style
/widgets/---not any qobject. and QGraphicsItems are not widgets. in
fact, you
can't even put widgets on a QGV (not until Qt4.4, anyway).

so the question remains :(
