[PyKDE] Rotating/transforming widgets

[Vio]

I have a QTextEdit inside a QFrame, with layout managed by a 
QVBoxLayout. The parent QFrame lives inside some base QWidget.

I am trying to rotate (and possibly apply other transforms) to the 
QTextEdit widget (and its parent QFrame). Is this at all possible? From 
the 'aclock.py' example, it "sounds" possible, using a QPainter and a 
QWMatrix. But on closer look I can only rotate/transform simple 
text/images directly drawn by a QPainter inside the target widget's 
reimplemented paintEvent(). While what I want is to rotate the widget 
itself, let's say around its center. And I also want the QVBoxLayout 
instance to still manage the widget's layout.

If this is at all possible, and if someone could spare a few lines of 
python in a little example, just enough to get me going, I'd really 
appreciate it.

Cheers,
Vio
