ok, so i'll continue on this way for the button.
for the tabbar it's more complicate, two issues:
it behaves very bad in graphics layouts, probably the only way is to
go subclassing QTabBar, maybe reimplementing a sizehint will be
enough, but it looks tough, let's see..
a totally different thing is to implement something like the
QTabWidget, it can contain only qwidgets, here we really need
something that can contain qgraphicslayoutitems otherwise it's pretty
useless...
