Mostly permanent.
The reasoning is simple: it's far easier to work on the interface in Qt2 than
it is with xforms. So personally when I "improve" things[1] I don't tend to
do so in xforms too, sometimes because it's tedious, and sometimes because
it's basically far too painful / nearly impossible.

this makes perfect sense.
I would hope that the Qt2 dialogs are intuitive enough to not need documentation.
Remeber the dialogs have the same responsibilities, so if there is e.g. a boolean
flag, it will be in both dialogs.
