Applications should never use that call.  I haven't fiddled with
MainWindow and multiple children too much, other than to notice
that it has bugs in its geometry management code.  One thing you
might try is realizing your child widgets before managing them,
but I doubt that will help here.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
