Yes. It's based on the same properties that you manipulate with the old 
<connect>-elements (and those continue to work, too). For controlling the 
state of elements, that's "someid.enabled", "someid.required", and 
"someid.visible". You can set these (and any other property) using
	gui.setValue ("someid.enabled", true);
etc. Of course we could also make it possible to write
	gui.getChild ("someid").setEnabled (true);
instead, if you think that's better.

Well, it is using kross, but I'm somewhat reluctant to set this design 
decision in stone. The interpreter is currently hardcoded to be qtscript (i.e. 
javascript). But as said back then, I think we can add support for system 
calls, here.
