Well, I immidiately started using my scrollwheel and found that its just
a content area without sliders. 
I doubt it has anything to do with the QLabel, just that someone made the 
content inside the module (probably the widget which does the administrator
mode button as well) scrollable, and somehow the scrollbars are lost.
