  3. Use Qt Widgets and style the widgets using stylesheets or by reimplementing paintEvent(). This might not be that much work if you use stylesheets.
Thanks! After checking around a bit, I've decided to give option #3 a try. I've never really worked with stylesheets before, but yeah, they do seem to be pretty easy to use. I've been making some progress, and the UI is looking much better. (I'll append a screenshot to the post.)

Things are somewhat better on the navigation side, too; at least a little bit. It turns out that Qt can recognize the Android "back" button; and, given that Android uses it in a manner almost identical to how Maemo uses "Stacked Windows", that makes my life a lot easier. Everything in Pierogi that was a Maemo stacked window has become an Android fullscreen window that can be closed by pressing that key.

So, it looks like Pierogi on Android may just be doable.
