Title: Discussion: some potential Qt console refactoring

Background: I'm in the process of building a small Qt application which I want to have, among other things, a tabbed IPython Qt console widget. Currently the Qt frontend main window and application are factored as a standalone application, so I started to tinker with what might be the best way to make the tabbed console into a reusable component for other GUI applications. So I wanted to pick your brains about it.

I have a few questions too:

- Are there tests for the app? I guess the only way may be to use it :/
- Are there any plans to set up alternate environments in the Qt console so that you can launch remote kernels via the Qt console (preferably with a little configuration window where you can add new kernel launch commands)? If not I may do this at some point.
