Ok. If in the current frame stack a pointer "foo" is declared as

QObject*    foo = getTheFoo();

the Watch window will show

Name		Type		Value
foo		QObject*	(QObject*)0x12345678

when the most derived type of the object returned by "getTheFoo()" above might actually be KDockWidget (or what have you). Not sure the best way to show this but you could put the true type in either the Type or Value column and the variable's type in the other.

foo		KDockWidget*	(QObject*)0x12345678
	or
foo (QObject*)	KDockWidget*	(KDockWidget*)0x12345678

etc. Ideally the tree should show the members of the true type also. Maybe I'm missing something and it does this now but it doesn't appear to.
