QtCreator 2.4.1.
Not sure what you mean by the second question.  Installed Qt 4.8.1 for 
Linux from the udpate tool.  It showed up as an option under Qt Versions.

Downloaded complete source for 4.8.1 from the web page and built a frame 
buffer version using specific configure args and used make and make 
install to put it into the desktop folder.  Went to the tools:option 
menu, Qt versions tab, chose add, and pointed to the qmake.exe that I 
installed.  Then it showed up in Build Settings as another qt version.

When I switch the Qt versions, it normally changes the list of build 
configurations that I can choose.  And the tool tip on the combo box 
shows that it's using the correct build.  Also, deploying and running 
the application works.

There have been a few times when switching builds seems to mess up the 
build configurations.  I know that I've lost a debug build, for example 
and chosen the release configuration for that build and cloned and 
modified it to get back my debug build.  Is this an issue?
