As of now, yes.

I was talking about Ctrl+Shift+F, which searches in all projects and 
displays the results in a list at the bottom (the search output window). 
What this output window shows when you search for "TODO" (when you press 
the expand-all button) would be rather similar to a view showing all 
your TODO entries.

Very interesting. I still think you're hitting a problem with 
fontMetrics().averageCharWidth() on the Mac, which was apparently broken 
for the version of Qt the alpha was built against. In that case it 
should be fixed with the next release.
