Thanks Phil, the designer integration now works for me again.

However, with the snapshot I get a traceback loading an .ui file at runtime.
It appears to be a simple typo, so I won't give the full trace:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py", line 430, in
createSpacer
    lp = elem.attrib['layout--position']
KeyError: 'layout--position'

A similar change in the 4.11.1 -> snapshot diff in uiparser.py:515
suggests this should be 'layout-position', and making that change I see
no other immediate problem with my app.

cheers,
Georg
