And another problem: Multiple views onto the same designer form are
probably not possible either. I tried having only 1
QDesignerformInterface, resulted in 1 window with the form, the other
with a plain qwidget. Having a new form loaded with the same content is
calling for trouble, because then you basically have the same as 2
designer instances working on the same file...
Unless of course we find a way to hook these two up to each other so
that changes in one are reflected in the other (which I'm not sure we
can)
