my child widget =?ISO-8859-1?Q?don=B4t?= receive all Events

I have written a few classes to add Spaceball support for Qt.
So I derive my own QSPWApplication class and overwrite the
x11EventFilter() function. Furthermore I derive QSPWMotionEvent
and QSPWButtonEvent classes from QEvent
(type 1001 and 1002).
Everytime I receive a Spaceball-Event in x11EventFilter,
I construct the QSPW...Event and post the event to the
widget    w = QWidget::find( (WId)(event->xany.window) );

I derive a QSPWWidget class and overwrite the event(QEvent*)
function, to catch the Spaceball-Events.

This works fine if my QSPWWidget is a top-level widget, but if 
I have a parent-widget, the QSPWWidget don´t receive the SPW-event.,
but mouse and key events are received.
Why ?

Second Question:

Is the construct

	postEvent(widget,new QSPWMotionEvent(getSPWMotionData()));

in QSPWApplication::x11EventFilter correct? Will the QSPW..Event object
be destroyed automatically or have I to destroy the event-object by myself.

Thanks,

So you post events but your overloaded QSPWWidget::event()
method is never called.

> Why ?

Maybe one reason could be your widget doesn't have focus?
Using a debugger should give you a definitive answer :)
