Well, I don't. All I want is to have grabWidget() take this into consideration before taking the screenshot so it doesn't return outdated pixmaps or pixmaps whose size does not correspond to the actual current size of the widget :-). So I don't question Qt's policy of ignoring (rather postponing ...) such events when the widget is hidden, but the way grabWidget works. It should do whatever is necessary to return a pixmap that resembles the way the widget would look like if it was shown.
