Agreed. Until either significant redesign or new work is done, it
does not make sense to use it.

If you look on the Designer Property Editor window, the first item
on the window is the layoutName for layouts and the objectName
for widgets. These names are initially auto generated, but can be
edited. This has been there since Qt 4.0. I don't know about Qt 3.

I found what I was missing that allows the CFontChooser to be
resizable. I needed to override the virtual function sizeHint and set
a reasonable default size. I should be able check changes in
tonight (my time).
