Which is exactly where I went and a kind JonB provided me with a pointer 
to QMainWindow and its structure with Menu Bar, Central Widget, and 
Status Bar. As it turned out, I already had been using a QMainWidget, 
albeit incorrectly, so to solve my specific problem, I just

QMainWindow *w = new QMainWindow;
QMenuBar *menuBar = w->menuBar();
// ... populate Menu Bar
w->setCentralWidget(new QWidget);
Canvas *Drawingarea = new Canvas(w->centralWidget());
Drawingarea->setGeometry(0, 0, 1000, 500);

where "Canvas" is a QWidget with a paintEvent().

Thanks for any help and/or useful suggestions.

Josef
