You generally don't directly. You'll want to create a layout (or a set of nested layouts) to... erm... layout... the design of your dialogue. You then use addWidget (and addLayout) to build them up. Finally you can use setLayout to add the top-level layout to your dialog.

I'd suggest reading the documentation on this - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo-4.6...d-layouts.html and http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo-4.6/layout.html should cover how widgets and layouts interact (a QDialog is really just another widget).
