Or we can add the logic into fixuifiles: if there is only one paragraph and all the 
css+html tags look like the default ones (no actual richtext in there) then strip
them out and leave only the plain text. This way the workflow hasn't changed:
use designer, run fixuifiles, commit; plus a regular run of fixuifiles over all *.ui files
(does scripty do this? I forgot).

But yeah a Qt designer fix would be much better. Albert: please mail qt-bugs;
there is no reason for designer to turn plain text into rich text...
