  The one I explained above.

  Looking at avogadro 1.2.0 (Qt4 version), it seems they ship them, and at least the Debian packaging bundles them in the "avogadro" package.
  The other thing is making sure that avogadro actually uses them (which seems to be done in 1.2.0).

  Following my suggestions would be a better way forward.

  `ui.glWidget->sceneModel()` returns a `QAbstractItemModel`, which can be iterated using its API.

  `git log` and find out who/why did that.
