Yeah, sounds like a great idea!
Lee, with Designer, it is also possible to "code in forms", which eliminates 
the need for subclassing. Do you prefer subclassing for technical reasons?

Switching to Qt Designer is probably a good idea for other parts of BibleTime 
too, but that can come later.

Cool. Sounds like good OpenSource practice. =)
