I haven't been setting this stuff up in newer Maya releases (2016+) so my
information may be out of date. But ya it is a bit tricky to make custom
changes to Maya's interface and have them be persistent when the UI is
modified. This is happening because a tear-off is recreating the widget and
your injected modifications to the old widget are lost.
Some options you have to automatically introduce this change is to include
setting an event filter
<http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/eventsandfilters.html#event-filters> on one of the
parent objects that don't change. This could end up just being the main
window or the QApplication. The event filter would be watching for the
ChildAdded <http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qevent.html#Type-enum> event, and if
its the expected type of widget you can apply your customization.
I don't recall the MMessage API offering any hooks for when arbitrary UI's
are created.
