[vtkusers] opening QVTKWidget in Qt

[Prathamesh Kulkarni]

Hi Henning,

Thanks for the quick snippet. I could go ahead and do it, however, I
need to add other stuff in the Main Window  besides the QVTKWidget.

Anyways, I did not have QVTKPluginWidget.dll probably because I had
not build the VTK INSTALL. I am not sure though.

I dropped this dll in Qt\Plugins\Designer\. Now I am able to promote a
QWidget to QVTKWidget in Qt Designer. I wonder why not from Qt
Creator.
