I would write something like:

QMainWindow inside of another QMainWindow

QMainWindow *mainWindow = new QMainWindow;
QMainWindow *subWindow = new QMainWindow(mainWindow);
// .. some configuration
mainWindow->setCentralWidget(subWindow);

QMainWindow inside of a QWidget

QWidget *mainWindow = new QWidget;
QMainWindow *subWindow = new QMainWindow(mainWindow);
// .. some configuration
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(subWindow);
mainWindow->setLayout(layout);

you can use this:

void QApplication::setActiveWindow(QWidget * active)

to set the widget (your main window) as the main window.
