I would not recommend using delegates to create such a positioner item for the
reasons you pointed out. The Row and Column positioners, essentially do the
same as the splitter and do not have a cumbersome API. You might want to look
at desktop components, as there is already a SplitterRow/Column component that
does exactly this: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components/desktop/
