+KDevDesigner is a port of Qt Designer (code taken from Qt 3.3 distribution) to KDE technologies:
+1) XML GUI
+2) KParts
+3) KFileDialog
+4) KIconLoader
+
+KDevDesigner consists of a part and a shell. 
+Part can be used in Konqueror and KDevelop to edit and view ui files and projects.
+Shell loads a part with "in shell" argument so that the part can create projects and ui files.
+
+Other important notes:
+KDevDesignerPart is Read/Write part which ignores readonly mode.
+Designer Editor plugins are not loaded.
+Available in system designer plugins are loaded if possible (tested with Qt 3.3 version).
+
+KDevDesignerPart integration:
+KDevDesignerPart implements KInterfaceDesigner interface (defined in kdevelop/lib/external_interfaces).
+
+WARNING:
+If you want to modify this code, try to introduce as few modifications to original Qt Designer code as possible.
+Write your own classes and wrappers instead. The goal is to ease syncronization between the port and original Qt Designer.
+Feel free to modify kdevdesigner_part.h(cpp) though.
+
+FUTURE:
+Trolltech promises that Qt 4 will have easilly embeddable designer. If that happens, this port will be dropped for KDevelop 4.
