I am really not convinced that this is something that should be in Qt. Qt is 
what I would call an "atomic" widgets library and provides widgets that are 
usefull for most applications. In reallity, there are very few applications 
that have a *need* for CMM widgets, Qt developement is driven a lot by the 
need of TT's customer, and also a little bit by the need of KDE. But what 
could be nice if we could come up with a library of CMM widgets common to 
LProf, Scribus and KDE/KOffice/Digikam (and any other Qt based application). 
Well that would mean LProf to switch to Qt4 ;)
