Could you make an exception for QMultiLineEdit - I know it has been
obsoleted, but so is a large part of the book by its exclusion! I'm not
sure whether there will be time to change all bits that have to do
with QMultiLineEdit. Also - it might be important for compatibility
with BlackAdder, which I assume is still Qt 2.x based.

Could you give a preview of your intentions? I'd like to include the 
appropriate warnings before going to press.

I think that this is the best option, since it 'fits' the Qt documentation
best.
