i'm not happy with either approach, tbh. (being different than Qt's layouts or 
not doing what we'd like it to do).

i'll find out more details about the layout system as it will be in qt 4.4's 
QGraphicsView stuff, because it is different than the QWidget layouts. so 
before we go making wrong headed assumptions, let me go gather some hard 
data. i'll be seeing the Trolls in person again on monday.

(note, we should be getting support for model/view in QGraphicsView for qt 4.4 
as well =))
