I've been doing some more investigations about adding QToolButtons 
and/or QLabels. The problem is that using gradient styles (Like 
megagradient/highcolor etc) the QToolButton and Labels don't have their 
background rendered correctly. I've emailed this list about this before, 
however I've done some more investigating and just thought I'd share it. 
I can't really make heads or tails of it, the styles are really hard to 
debug. Anyway, here is what I've come up with.

If I use a QToolBar the child widgets have the correct background, 
however the toolbar itself doesn't have the correct background.

If I use a KToolBar the child widgets have a solid background, but the 
toolbar obviously has the correct background. However, separators added 
using the addSeparator call have the wrong background and worse than 
that, their background isn't solid but garbage. Like it's an unitialised 
pixmap or something.

The weird thing here is that the widgets behave correctly when a 
QToolBar is their parent (If the QToolBar would have been rendered with 
a gradient as well). I haven't really been able to pinpoint how a widget 
gets it's background color, this is my first stab at trying to 
understand styles and I must say I have met limited success at best :).
