Yes, if you take what Nicolas has made for KMines then the only thing 
that is missing is the ability to specify the configItem-"name" in 
QtDesigner. Now you still need to add calls like 
configCollection()->plug("boat_length", l); to tie the config name to 
the widget.

I rather see some support in QWidget for custom properties.
