I haven't changed the drawingcode (in PlatQt.cpp) much at all. So just look in 
there for how QScintilla works.. Basically, It has a "Surface" object that 
gets instantiated in paintEvent, and the drawing happens in calls to other 
scintilla qt functions called from paintEvent. (mainly in 
ScintillaQt.cpp::paintEvent() and the Surface methods in PlatQt.cpp)
