The dockwidgets example uses setWidget. Why has QDockWidget a setLayout
class if we cannot use it? Qt documentation seems to say that there is
nothing wrong using setLayout.
I have re-written the example with setWidget (see below).

class spinWidget( QWidget ):

        super( spinWidget, self ).__init__()

        spin1 = QSpinBox()
        vboxlayout.addWidget( spin1 )

        spin2 = QSpinBox()
        vboxlayout.addWidget( spin2 )
        self.setLayout( vboxlayout )

qmainwin.addDockWidget( Qt.TopDockWidgetArea, qdock )
