I didn't test your code, but it looks a lot like an issue I'm running into all the 
time when working on graphicswidgets that resize themselves.

It would be good if Alexis (or someone else working on QGraphicsLayouts) could have a 
look at this, it looks simple enough for a testcase and would be very useful to have 
a fix for.

Did you try without the proxywidget stuff, so using QGraphicsWidgets directly, btw? 
That would make an even cleaner testcase.

It would be very nice to see this fixed indeed...
