1. Create a UserWidget “MyLayout”.
2. Add named slot widgets to it to create… a layout.
3. Create another UserWidget “MyMenu”, using MyLayout as its root widget.
4. Add widgets to the slots on the “MyMenu” widget.
5. Rename a named slot on “MyLayout”.
6. Open up MyMenu and be amazed how all widgets on the slot are deleted.
