You don't need slots created by designer. Just write a python class that
subclasses from QDialog and you Ui. See the PyQt4 examples for some
inspiration. In that subclass you then have the slots (you could even use
auto-connection for that) which sets the member variable.

This should print a message on the terminal, as the connection cannot be
made. You cannot give argument values to slots when connecting them to
signals.
