Additional signals and slots aren't working yet. I started to implement them,
but haven't finished that. What does work: displaying the widget and changing

I lost interrest because no ones used it. So I haven't worked on it since
November. But I'm happy to answer any questions and fixing bugs which get
reported. The installation is kind of tricky and the docu mostly not
existing, so again just ask.
You can download the latest version from
www.galileiconsult.de/qtdesigner.tgz
