Understand, now I see where I was wrong. I have just stripped out from 
the constructor the ui->setupUi(this); as I thought the 
setupGUI(Default); was the replacement. Instead I need them both, the 
first one to generate the User Interface and second one to add menus 
toolbars etc etc..

What it was actually misleading was the fact the GUI did not appear, 
without throwing any error BTW, when I was trying to not setup the Ui 
with ui->setupUi(this);
Now I see the problem was instead the function setCentralWidget(this); 
when this is called the GUI still does not appear. I still need to 
investigate why, do not if you guys have any suggestion..

Thanks
Jan
