[PyQt] Position widgets over widgets

[Mads Ipsen]

Hi,

I tried that, but is does not seem to work. The 'XXX' is still hidden by 
the widget in the layout.

What I eventually would like to achieve is to add a QPushButton in, say, 
the upper left corner of the parent widget.

I have attached a similar example, this time with a QPushButton. This 
QPushButton is rendered useless (i.e.) you cannot press it.

I thought solving this problem would be a walk in the park. Any clues?

Best regards,

Mads
