Best way to use a QLayout For a QGLWidget which is next to a QToolBox?

With my current layout, I'm seeing the following:

The problem is that I'd like the QToolBox and its nested components to be larger in both height and width. Since the QToolBox encapsulates (currently - there will be more) a single QListView, I'm having some trouble figuring out the best way to do this.

The ToolBox resides as a component within an InputFrame class, derived from QFrame, and is initialized within the following (inner) block, within the void MainWindow::init( void ) function

(Note: I haven't set a QLayout for MainWindow - I tried that and Qt complained about there already being a default layout or something)

@//! Initialize User Input
{
mUserInput = new InputFrame( this );

    const int x = width - 400;
    const int y = ( height / 2 ) - 200;

    mUserInput->setGeometry( x, y, 300, 300 );
    mUserInput->setFrameShape( QFrame::StyledPanel );
    mUserInput->setFrameShadow( QFrame::Raised );

}@

When the InputFrame is initialized, the following ensues:

@void InputFrame::init( void )
{
QGridLayout* inputLayout = new QGridLayout( this );
inputLayout->setObjectName( Layout::fetch( Layout::Input ) );

mModules = new QToolBox( this );

mGeometry = new QListView( this );
{
    QStringList strings( Glm::fetch( Glm::Geometry ) );

    addFunctionList( mGeometry, "Geometry", strings );
}

mModules->setSizePolicy( QSizePolicy::Maximum, QSizePolicy::Expanding );

inputLayout->setSizeConstraint( QLayout::SetMaximumSize );
inputLayout->addWidget( mModules );

}

void InputFrame::addFunctionList( QListView* const& parent, const char* label, const QStringList& funcSigs )
{
QItemDelegate* viewDelegate = new QItemDelegate( parent );
QStringListModel* stringList = new ModuleStringList( parent );

stringList->setStringList( funcSigs );

parent->setItemDelegate( viewDelegate );
parent->setModel( stringList );
parent->setSizePolicy( QSizePolicy::Maximum, QSizePolicy::Maximum );

mModules->addItem( parent, label );

}@

After experimenting and reading the QLayout documentation - I feel like I'm missing something: the ToolBox is still small.

I know this has to do with mUserInput->setGeometry(...), yet when I comment that call, the QToolBox and its child widget are thrown into the upper left corner of the screen and extremely small. Naturally I can specify larger dimensions, but if I understand correctly, this will render the layout settings void (i.e., useless given the fact that the ToolBox is hardly displayable at all) - correct?

Anyway, I appreciate any clarifications/suggestions on this issue; thanks.
