its up to you.  it works quite well in kjsembed.  we extract all metadata
before show is called.  The widget is created as in allocated, but is
still hidden.  how do you think the ui file icon preview works ;)

but its your choice... personally i hate writing code for the heck of it.

i do have something similar to the dcopref code in pydcop on the way for
UI files... maby this is what taj is talking about not sure.  its not very
hard, its actually harder to get the damn objects created in python than
to extract the metadata.
