As someone else pointed out, this is a less common scenario for what I’m trying
to support. What I care more about is people who want to use Qt for the thing
it’s good at, and integrate OSG within it. So they typically want menus,
dialogs etc from QWidgets or QQ2 (potentially including Qt Quick Controls).
That’s the use case I’m focusing on for now.
Hiding Qt introduces a lot of complexity and also trades that rather detailed,
tailored Qt event loops on each platform, for the rather basic ones in each of
the GraphicsWindow subclasses.

The solution you propose of a custom QtQuick node rendering OSG is definitely
interesting to me, and I would guess your code is likely 90% the same as what I
would write, so with your permission I might attempt to merge it with my
submission, once I have time to review it.
Kind regards,
