Nope:

So that cannot be it...

There are two things: the new layer dialog. This should use a .ui file  -- 
there is no reason not to. The layer docker is another thing. This should use 
a qtable. QTable supports D&D -- take a look at the Qt documentation. Using a 
home-grown widget where a standard one exists isn't a good idea: it adds to 
the maintenance burden, it will quite likely be buggier (which it, in fact, 
is) and it will never conform as well to common ui standards. The only reason 
this particular chunk of code exists is that it was written before Qt 
actually had a QTable class.

No. I don't understand the exact requirements, not being a graphics 
professional... If someone who does show real understanding shows up and 
start coding it'll go in, otherwise it probably won't happen...
