Well. Update of a widget is made by a call to "QWidget::update()", and are the 
actual painting is executed later when the control go back to the execution of 
the main loop. This make the updating more efficient, since (among other things) 
Qt can merge multiple update in a single update, but this makes it much more 
difficult to trace since there is no direct connection during the actual widget 
painting and whatever triggered it. So the only way is to track call to 
"QWidget::update()", either by grepping in the code, or setting a breakpoint 
in gdb.
