Instead of deriving, you may want to *wrap* the existing style with a
another style. This is the suggested approach by Trolltech. One of the
advantages is that your customizations would work on all styles (and all
platforms).

Moreover, you should look into stylesheets (which btw are implemented
exactly like a wrapper style). They might already give you what you want
without needing to write much code.
