We hear you.

In general you cannot. The latest git version however will do what you
want as now a WPaintedWidget will be properly managed by a layout
manager. If you do not provide dimensions to your painted widget, the
widget will be repainted everytime the layout manager resizes the
widget, and will set the widget dimensions accordingly.

The example below will thus work well, provided you put the widget
inside a layout manager.
