[Qt-interest] Qt 4.3 Designer, where is signal handlers?

[Denton Vis]

You can connect signals with Qt designer. But I guess what you want to do is 
define new slots in place when connecting a signal. This is not possible in 
Qt Designer 4.4 (it was possible in 3.3). You can only define custom slots 
and signals for promoted widgets or the main window widget.

>From what I understand, the Trolls want to streamline the designer to just 
focus on creating good interfaces and remove IDE-like functionality from 
designer. I guess with the introduction of Qt Creator, they have even more 
incentive to do so.
