I and some other people are indeed waiting for the Qt window provider that was 
supposed to come shortly.

And if by the feature you mean see what module is loaded that's still there in 
the logs. Inconvenient as it may be, it's not a complete removal like, I 
dunno, the Qt window provider.

As said on the bug tracker, I would have if:
1) the Qt UI had not been wrecked beyond usability in the mean time,
and
2) somebody had not kept pestering me about his unilaterally decided (oh the 
irony) non-TC-appproved changes to the review-needing changes.
