QMimeData: setting and getting the right MIME types for arbitrary widgets

[neuronet]

If you want widgets that can be moved using the mouse, you can implement the movement directly in the mouse event handler methods.
The Drag&Drop classes are for transferring data, often across different applications (e.g. from a file manager to a program that should open these files).

In the most usual cases widget locations and sizes are managed by layouts, which position and resize child widgets within their parent's boundaries.
But you can manage that yourself of course.

I guess it depends on what you are trying to achieve, i.e. whether QGraphicsView is a better approach or not.

My goal is to make a desktop application in which I have multiple widgets open that the user can move around with drag/drop. Basically a to do list app (yes, I know, that is trite ). Something like the following markup:

Given that goal, do you think QGraphicsView would be better? (Note someone has responded at Stack Overflow as well and I have yet to implement their suggestions). Or more accurately, do you think it would stupid to try to do it without using QGraphicsView?
