[Qt-creator] Some thoughts...

First of all, QtCreator is looking extremely promising.  For someone
with a Qt license but no desire to buy Visual Studio, it will be a
huge help.  Even on Linux the IDE situation isn't exactly great.
Looks like QtCreator will fix that. Thanks!

Couple things I noticed..
When the debugger hits a breakpoint, the QtCreator window should flash
its taskbar entry to notify me or switch focus to the window..
Otherwise it's sometimes hard to tell when the program is at a
breakpoint and not just frozen.

Why is the tab width 8 while the default tab inserts 4 spaces?  At
least make tab width 4 to make the default usable for people that
indent with tabs.  Of course even better would be to make the tab key
insert tab characters like god intended.  :)
