You were not completely wrong: there have been changes to the WD driver to adapt it to the features and shortcomings of Qt. So some of the old stuff will fail and if you try those things you should get an error message that explains what is broken. Hopefully it will also be obvious how to fix the problem - if not, please ask.
(And if a question gets asked a lot, that might motivate us to improve and/or better document that part of the system.)
