I don't see how Qt does the low level graphics work, in order to create its own custom GUI look/feel for each platform. Does it utilize each of the platforms APIs or something?

Coming from the Symbian world, I'm used to using the heap as much as possible to avoid running out of stack space, especially when handling descriptors. CBase derived classes were always dynamically allocated on the heap, since if they were not, their member variables would stay uninitialized. Does the same convention apply to QObject-de...
