capturing a QDeclarativeItem into a QPixmap

[ugluk]

I am trying to capture a QDeclarativeItem into a QPixmap to drag it interactively:

{
    QObject* obj;
    draggedPixmap = QPixmap(qobject_cast<QGraphicsItem*>(obj)->
      boundingRect().size().toSize());
 
    QPainter painter(&draggedPixmap);
 
    QStyleOptionGraphicsItem option;
 
    QPointF p(QCursor::pos());
 
    qobject_cast<QGraphicsItem*>(obj)->paint(&painter, &option);
 
    drag->setPixmap(draggedPixmap);
  }

{
    QObject* obj;
    draggedPixmap = QPixmap(qobject_cast<QGraphicsItem*>(obj)->
      boundingRect().size().toSize());

    QPainter painter(&draggedPixmap);

    QStyleOptionGraphicsItem option;

    QPointF p(QCursor::pos());

    qobject_cast<QGraphicsItem*>(obj)->paint(&painter, &option);

    drag->setPixmap(draggedPixmap);
  }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem is, that not all children of the QDeclarativeItem will paint into the QPixmap (say, text won't show up in the QPixmap, but Rectangles will). Calling paint on the Text QDeclarativeItem directly produces garbage. Should I be capturing into a QImage?
