I'm a little out of ideas.
It seems a sane set of ignore tags has to be set to get most of the QT
headers extracted. After a way too long time of testing, I found these
helpful:

__attribute__
Q_GUI_EXPORT
Q_DECL_EXPORT

To use them, update your Geany to latest SVN version (ignore.tags
wasn't used for generating global tags so far).
Put the above listed tags ~/.geany/ignore_tags and try again.

Then at least setSizePolicy() will be found. But there are probably
tons of other tags which can't be found because Qt's heavy macro usage
will confuse the C++ tags parser.

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't you help anything more on this. Maybe you
should ask someone more familar with Qt.
