Yes. I actually had a mail over the weekend from someone who implied Qt
Designer can generate Qt 1.1 only code, which wasn't at all clear from the
tarball of Qt 2.2.beta. If this is true, then we can switch to using that,
and everyone is happy :)

OK, that's good. I think it might be useful anyway, I'll look at this.

yes, a button policy seems to be the way to go on this. Note in kde/ I
hide the "OK" button, and make Cancel "Close". This seems a more sensible
presentation to the user ...
thanks Allan !
