Hi Gunnar

Gunnar Sletta:
The ApplicationWindow encapsulates a completely different concept compared to 
normal items and trying to treat them as the same in the design tool makes very 
little sense.

Is sense, logic not very context depend? I think our argument network, which is 
designer centric, is different from yours, which is run time centric. Like I 
have written ApplicationWindow is a hybrid of a window and a item but it is not 
a item in the sense of duck typing. It is different and that is hurting us. And 
for the menus you don't need a WYSIWYG editor.

The ApplicationWindow floats stand alone in the windowing system, it may have 
menu bar, status bar and toolbar, all of which require dedicated support from 
the designer to be designable. And the code generated does not go into a 
QQuickView, but needs to be created as via QQmlComponent::create() as it 
creates the window itself.

Actually what is the advantage to have the menu bar, status bar and toolbar 
designable? And we do not create the items from text because we need more 
control over them. I don't want to argument about that again and
again. ;-)
