I agree that this is essential, I often find that I use QtCreator to debug my Qt/KDE projects since 
it can print Qt types nicely, however this does disturb my workflow quite a bit, I would love to be 
able to use Eclipse for everything.

Probably the easiest solution to that problem would be to make CDT automatically load pretty-
printers for all Qt projects.

KDevelop has some pretty-printers for Qt types located here: 
http://gitorious.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/trees/master/debuggers/gdb/printers

They also work nicely with Eclipse, however for testing I used a patched CDT with the patch from  
Bug 302121, I don't know how well it works with 7.0
