Is it "normal" except, perhaps, in VB and NetBeans?  Personally, I abhor 
development tools which automatically create untouchable source code. 

Although Qt Designer will easily and automatically create and name 
button definitions in header files and button stubs in source files, I 
prefer to write my own header definitions and source implementations and 
use manually written Signals and Slots (using the "connect" command) to 
connect the action to the execution. It is easily and quickly done.  One 
can also disconnect and reconnect actions  on the fly using the 
"connect" command, thus avoiding unwanted triggering.  Signals and Slots 
is very powerful and conceptually beautiful, especially when compared to 
callback functions traditionally used in C development.
