hehe, but I'll kepp it in mind, just in case I need something from you ;-)

Seriously, I tried a few control modules:
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/KControl_Locale.ui
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/KControl_LoginManager.ui
http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/KControl_Keys.ui

They are copied to the server exactly as they were extracted. The only thing I 
had to adjust manually was in the Locale.ui. There appeared the bug I 
mentioned: the top-level widget is of class KLocaleApplication, so in Line 9 
the extractor wrote out KLocaleApplication instead of QWidget. That's the 
only thing I changed manually, the rest is just as generated by the 
extractor...

As you can see from the examples above, it's not that bad yet ;-)
No idea, how well it will work with qt 4, since I hope QGridLayout will be 
improved a lot there (currently I have to do a few hacks to get the cell and 
the row/colspan of a given widget).

Cheers,
Reinhold
