Are you using Qt Designer? It is very easy to do exactly what you want 
if you use it.

Firstly, you need to get rid of the top-level grid layout. Next, make 
sure that each of the four areas consists of either a single widget, or 
a single layout (which can, of course, contain any number of child 
widgets and/or sub-layouts).

Now select the top pair of areas, and put them into a horizontal 
splitter. Then do the same for the bottom pair. Finally, the top and 
bottom splitters can be put into in a vertical splitter, to complete the 
four-pane arrangement.

Once the splitters have been set up, you just need to add a top-level 
layout for the main form.
