No, we already have a nearly finished implementation of a platform 
independent plugin system which can also dynamically load custom widgets 
(remember, it has to work on Windows as well!). But we will not have this in 
the first version of the designer as we need more testing for that. That's 
why I prefer to go the dirty way for the first version as we have a nice and 
clean solution in the next version anyway.
