QGridLayout - I don't get it :(

Hi all and thanks for reading.
I put a QGridLayout into a QWizardPage but it does not look as expected. In the third line, which should display a field for postal code and city - the postal code field is bigger than that of the city. Despite this code:

QGridLayout* grid  = new QGridLayout;
grid->addWidget(leAddress1, 0, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leAddress2, 1, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leStrasse,  2, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(lePlz,      3, 0, 1, 1);
grid->addWidget(leStadt,    3, 1, 1, 4);
grid->addWidget(leEmail,    4, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leUrl,      5, 0, 1, 5);
setLayout(grid);

OK - I found a solution! This code does the trick:

QGridLayout* grid  = new QGridLayout;
grid->addWidget(leAddress1, 0, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leAddress2, 1, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leStrasse,  2, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(lePlz,      3, 0);
grid->addWidget(leStadt,    3, 1, 1, 4);
grid->addWidget(leEmail,    4, 0, 1, 5);
grid->addWidget(leUrl,      5, 0, 1, 5);
grid->setColumnStretch(0, 1);
grid->setColumnStretch(1, 4);

So the position in the grid plays less of a role - it is more about the stretching... Not that I think that I totally understand - but... it works.
Thx if you thought about helping.

understanding size policies are also important, but admittedly, they are a PITA to get right.
