That could work, afaik only QGraphicsProxyWidgets are affected. If the
widget is on top of the graphics scene, there should be no problem.
On the other hand, having a floating widget (like measuring tools) would
allow to present the options which are now in the digitizing tab of the
options dialog. So I'm thinking about implementing it that way.

On Mac OS and Windows, the spin box is placed next to the cursor

a problem embedding widget items if the flag Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen

But yes, it might be better to have a separate window on X11.

Is it possible to do a frameless modeless dialog with the widget
inside and have it follow the cursor? Or does this have the same issue.

It is intended that editing changes the result. After pressing the
return key, the offset line should move to the new distance (but
the mouse should not be moved, otherwise it will be overriden by
the following mouse move position). Doesn't this work for you?
Seems to not on my machine. Running Linux Mint 11
