[kplato] Two GUI questions

[Thomas Zander]

HI,

I noticed that there were absolutely no .ui files in kplato's CVS.
So the attachment I sent will probably mean nothing to most of you!

For that reason I took the existing projectDialog and converted that
to a designer setup.
This makes it easier for others to see how things work when using ui files..

Don't hesitate to ask me for info!
