You're partly wrong. The QT3 Designer (and therefor als kdevdesigner)
allows is to implement the slots in a file calles blah.ui.h, which gets
included from the generated blah.ui.cpp. This way it's possible to have
a ui+ui.h with all the code needed for a widget and thus no subclassing
is necessary. So it seems that kdevdesigner really has the problem of
loading a text editor for the ui.h file.

PS: @Bram you can always use subclassing to provide the slot
implementation. This gives you more freedom in implementing the logic of
the widget and it's the way to go for new QT4 anyway.
