I'd like to have my application inspect the clipboard whenever a particular widget's window is brought forward when that widget is visible, whether through switching within my application or switching from another application. Is there any signal (or several signals) I can connect to in order to get this type of event?

The easiest way to implement would be to have a timer that would query QApplication::activeWindow() or similar every second or so and act if the widget changes.

Another thing worth trying is to intercept change events of the application (have a look at the QEvent::Type enum), maybe one of the events is what you seek...

Or you could dive into platform API and do it properly...
