Yes.

I've attached a brief example to this mail. Since any widget in Qt Jambi 
can be a child widget, there are different ways of doing this. One is 
putting your 3D view inside a QMainWindow and adding this to your layout 
(even though it's called 'window' there's no reason it can't be embedded 
inside another widget/main window/etc.) Then you will get a child widget 
with all the capabilities of the main window, including menubars, dock 
widgets, statusbars and toolbars. Another way is to instantiate the 
widget QMenuBar directly and adding this to your layout, in which case 
you will have more control over how it looks.

In the example I have a top level widget with three children: a plain 
button, a main window and a menu bar. The main window has a central 
widget which is another button just to illustrate the nesting. Hopefully 
this is somewhere in the region of what you were after?
