I really doubt there is one.

This is a Qt question - not a PyQt one. You'll probably figure out how to 
do it, but it will take a lot of study and experimentation. Perhaps you 
should investigate Xt, as there is a QXtWidget and QXtApplication class 
available in Qt.

The silence was because no one knows how to do it, not because it was a 
stupid question or because we don't like you.
