Yes, it is cumbersome and a heck of a lot of glue code, but then we already 
have that with QtC.  Note, I can eliminate a few of the calls if we call 
directly into Qt lib for some of the methods.  This is still a lot of glue 
code though, but it is better than no solution.  I tried to find a more 
elegant way, but i'm stumped at this point.  So, we'll go ahead with this 
method until someone somewhere can dream up a better solution ;)  Thanks for 
all your help Gopal,
