Under Windows XP, plugin DLLs are in Qt\QtCreator\qt\plugins\designer  
and when I launch designer.exe from Qt\QtCreator\qt\bin I get my  
custom plugins, which
are not visible in the integrated designer - same behaviour under  
Linux where plugin .so files are in /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer.

Another thing: inside the designer, we get information about designer
plugins from the Help Menu and it is very useful when a plugin fails. Is
this information available in QtCreator?

Thanks.
