I had some problems with using Qt1.44 _and_ Qt2.0.2, which I got solved on the
qt-interest mailing list. Therefore my suggestion:
Please add:
4.) Make sure that you are really using the moc shipping with Qt2.0.2.(e.g.
check whether you have a symbolic link still pointing to the old moc version).
The old (Qt1.44) moc version is incompatible.
