That is a bug on win32. It will be fixed in the next release. If you have Qt3 
installed next to Qt4, should have two designer actions/menu entries. One for 
the Qt4 variant and one for the Qt3 one. However, due to the bug in 
UserInterface.py, the Qt4 related designer action is not generated. This just 
happens on win32.
