You just need to use the Tools->Custom->Edit Custom Widgets... dialog, there's 
no need to write an header file.

Simply enter whatever you want in the C++ header field, it will be ignored by 
puic (this information is only used to generate the right include statement 
in C++). You still need to describe your widget's interface (sig, slots...) 
in the dialog though.

Of course, this generates a "simple" custom widget, appearing as a static 
pixmap in the designer.

I have a mean to add interactive, plugins widgets as well but 
that would be a bit clumsy, and a memory pig :)
Still, if there are people interested, why not...
