After a lot of searching, I'm gonna ask

I have a QTreeWidget on a dialog. The user requirement is that the background of the tree is the same color as QPalette::Window (and the palette can change, so just modifying the palette in designer won't work). I've tried tree->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Window) (and even foreground role)... no difference.

If I modify the items (item->setBackground(QApplication:alette().window())), the item backgrounds are right... but the tree widget w/o items is still white (base).

Using qt 4.3.2 --- and ready to tear my hair out, since this seems to function in other places, just not the tree widget.
