Hi

I need to move a simple widget around a frame using the mouse. I've tried 
various ways, but they seem too complicated (involving reimplementing various 
event methods, filters, invoking copies of the widget or trying drag and 
drop). Is there a simple way? It seems the most obvious way of simply 
reimplementing mouseMoveEvent is specifically excluded in the doc as risking 
infinite recursion!

Thanks for your help.

Nick
