I _think_ I have code that does waht you want. This creates multiple 
layouts that contain an icon, a button, and some text on a scrollview. 
The code is awkward and ugly, but it works.


class ScrollToolView(QScrollView):
     def __init__(self,parent = None,name = None,fl = 0):
         QScrollView.__init__(self,parent,name,fl)
         self.items = {}
         self.setStaticBackground(True)
         self.enableClipper(True)
 
self.viewport().setPaletteBackgroundColor(qApp.palette().color(QPalette.Active, 
QColorGroup.Background))
         self.row_height = 120

     def viewportResizeEvent(self, e):
         for x in self.items:
             self.items[x].resize(e.size().width(), self.row_height)

     def addItem(self, name, title, pix, text, button_text, button_func):
         num_items = len(self.items)
         LayoutWidget = QWidget(self.viewport(),"layoutwidget")
         LayoutWidget.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Expanding, 
QSizePolicy.Minimum))
         LayoutWidget.setGeometry(QRect(0, 0, self.width(), 
self.row_height))
         self.addChild(LayoutWidget)

         if num_items:
             self.moveChild(LayoutWidget, 0, self.row_height*num_items)

         layout = QGridLayout(LayoutWidget,1,1,10,10,"layout")

         pushButton = QPushButton(LayoutWidget,"pushButton")
 
pushButton.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Maximum,QSizePolicy.Fixed,0,0,
 
pushButton.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth()))
         self.connect(pushButton,SIGNAL("clicked()"), button_func)

         layout.addWidget(pushButton,2,2)

         textLabel = QLabel(LayoutWidget,"textLabel")

         layout.addWidget(textLabel,1,1)

         pixmap = QLabel(LayoutWidget,"pixmapLabel2")
 
pixmap.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Fixed,QSizePolicy.Fixed,0,0,
                              pixmap.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth()))
         pixmap.setMinimumSize(QSize(32,32))
         pixmap.setMaximumSize(QSize(32,32))
         pixmap.setPixmap(pix)
         pixmap.setScaledContents(1)

         layout.addWidget(pixmap,1,0)

         textLabel2 = QLabel(LayoutWidget,"textLabel2")
         textLabel2.setAlignment(QLabel.WordBreak | QLabel.AlignTop)
 
textLabel2.setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy.Minimum,QSizePolicy.Expanding))

         layout.addWidget(textLabel2,2,1)

         if num_items:
             line = QFrame(LayoutWidget,"line")
             line.setFrameShadow(QFrame.Sunken)
             line.setFrameShape(QFrame.HLine)
             layout.addMultiCellWidget(line,0,0,0,2)

         textLabel.setText(title)
         textLabel2.setText(text)
         pushButton.setText(button_text)
         self.resizeContents(self.width(), num_items*self.row_height*2)

         LayoutWidget.show()

         try:
             self.items[name]
         except KeyError:
             self.items[name] = LayoutWidget
         else:
             print "ERROR: Duplicate button name:", name

     def clear(self):
         if len(self.items):
             for x in self.items:
                 self.removeChild(self.items[x])
                 self.items[x].hide()

             self.items.clear()
             self.resizeContents(self.width(), 0)
