Yep, the gui widgets will still be created and accessible through the code, so 
nothing will fall over, you just won't see them in the dialog.  You just have 
to make sure you set sensible default values on the widgets.  Hmmm, that's 
something I'll need to go back and check.

For Windows and OSX, Qt hands off to the native print dialog, so currently you 
won't see the tabs there, and in fact there are a few settings in QPrinter 
that don't work on those platforms at all.  There was some talk of a possible 
way to add custom pages to the Windows dialog, but I'm not yet sure if the 
trolls plan to implement that at all in 4.4, or if there is a OSX equivalent.

John.
