Okay -- let's start by deciding what the problem is, exactly. We want to have 
a generic way to allow a filter to display its own configuration options. We 
don't want to have to write a complete dialog with preview code for every 
filter, rather, we'd like to plugin a widget with our options into the 
working preview dialog. That's the first requirement. The second is, we want 
to be able to keep all our dialogs in .ui format. Third requirement: the 
filter configuration options need to work in the filter tool panel, too. 
Finally, it's be grand if this were as easy as possible.

Whichever design satisfies these requirements is okay with me: feel free to 
come up with something that's easier than the current design. It's not 
necessary to keep any code that can be improved by using different code.

Ur... Yes, I think so, yes... Quite. One thing: I think it would be a good 
idea for our filter dialog windows to look as closely as possible as those
in Digikam, even if we don't use the same code. Consistency across 
applications is a big thing in my book. I urge everyone to keep an up-to-date 
svn version of Digikam around to mooch design, ideas and code from ;-).
