You can set the widget to be deleted on close, and then listen to its destroyed signal:

widget->setAttribute( Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose );
connect( widget, SIGNAL(destroyed(QObject*)), this, SLOT(widgetDestroyed(QObject*)) );

That only works if you're not interested in the widget contents though. At the point destroyed() is emitted, the widget isn't a QWidget anymore, just a QObject (as destroyed() is emitted from ~QObject), so you can't cast the argument QObject* to QWidget anymore.

A simple alternative might be to wrap your widget with a QDialog.
