Overriding QWidget::resizeEvent() to prevent resizing won't work,
because, per above, the widget has already been resized when the
resize event comes in. So resizing a top-level widget would likely
result in the appearance of the widget "jumping" between
mouse-selected size and the forced size - not pretty. At best, the
widget will look wrong (if the widget is in a layout, the layout will
expect the widget to respect setGeometry calls), at worst it will
crash (stack overflow observed on Windows with the attached simple
test).
