mdi-like window

Can I create a child window, say, QVBox, with window decorations ? Which can be moved, resized, etc. ?

Yes, have a look to http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qworkspace.html the QWorkspace class wich tells you the pros and cons of the thing.

No, I need/t QWorkspace. For example, I create a child of QGLWidget (QWorkspace by itself is a widget too)

Does your child need to really be MDI? If yes, use the QWorkspace as place holder for other windows. If not give the widget the Qt::WType_TopLevel flag (as well as other needed flags).
A QGLWidget is a widget as others, as it inherits QWidget and can be used in a QWorkspace as a child window.

In a KDE program you can alternatively use the more advanced KMdi framework
http://api.kde.org/3.3-api/kmdi/html/classes.html

If you just need another window, you just pass 0 as the widget parent.
Or use it as a child in a QDialog, etc

djanubis: QWokrspace maximezes all windows, but I have maximized QGLWidget and little QVBox (like WinRar's archiving progress)
