The issue I'm having is that I don't understand how to assign bounds in the nested widget. I'm sure there's a very clean solution. I basically want a paintContent method but with the bounds dynamically assigned by the parent.
Well the bounds given to paintContent just define your content area boundaries, relative to the nested widget. The content area is inside its own border. The actual position is assigned by the parent (the virtual function there is recomputeChildLayout, you can override that to arrange instead of letting it automatically fill the space).
I don't really know what exactly you have in mind for the bounds, but anything outside your widget area is going to be clipped anyway, so I think you really want to change that child layout computation.
