I realise you posted a follow up, but just to confirm -- yes, do NOT rely
on connections made in the designer.

The rationale is that the designer can break these connections without any
warning. Eg if you cut and paste some widgets to move them around, any
connections to those will be silently broken. It's much safer to rely on
manual connections with compile time checks...
