...and there's another HIG at least as relevant to Qt applications, if not more so:

        http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/GroupBox

The list

        * Always try to use a group box to arrange related controls.
        * Use a frame to arrange related controls that cannot be labeled.
        * Do not group single controls.
        * Consider to communicate relationship by layout only.

from there seems to limit the places where group boxes should be used.
