[Qt-creator] Patch for ".ui file not marked modified" bug

[Greg Santucci]

There is a small bug in the both the integrated Qt Designer and the 
standalone Qt Designer where if you modify an existing connection by 
double clicking it (bringing up the "Configure Connection" dialog), the 
.ui file is not marked as changed. (However, performing the same edit in 
the Signal/Slots editing pane marks the .ui file as modified, and is also 
undoable).

I've fixed the bug on my end and I am providing a small patch. It was a 
very simple fix - the Qt Designer code is clean and beautifully written, 
and a fix was very easy to figure out and put in. The patch makes edits 
done in the "Configure Connection" dialog undoable.

To apply the patch, the current directory must be C:\Qt\2009.01\qt\tools
\designer\src. Once applied, run qmake, make, and make release. Once the 
build is finished, there will be fresh QtDesigner4.dll, QtDesignerd4.dll, 
QtDesignerComponents4.dll and QtDesignerComponentsd4.dll files in the 
C:\Qt\2009.01\qt\bin directory. The Qt Designer standalone app will 
feature the fix, however, to fix the integrated designer in Qt Creator, 
you must first build your own Qt Creator from source, and completely 
replace the old one, as it appears to have been built with Visual Studio, 
making the DLLs incompatible. Once you've built your own Qt Creator, you 
can simply copy all the DLLs in C:\Qt\2009.01\qt\bin to C:\Qt\2009.01\bin, 
and you'll have a freshly patched Qt Creator to play with.
