I've just double checked that (1.6 branch from SVN). Implemented since 1.1 
alpha 1 (2006-08-09) and works for me - I especially put effort in 
serializing/deserializing QVariant constants exactly to be able to set default 
values of many types. The "default value" line edit in the property editor of 
the Table Designer, should accept any text values, so you can enter numbers 
and text. Boolean fields can even have set true/false/null default value using 
a special combobox.

There is no support for functions yet, e.g. you cannot enter now() to get the 
current date as the default.
