This is not an issue with the new version of Qt, and in the time frame
we are working with for the new GUI the issue will disappear before we
would be finished. So I wouldn't worry about it, the solution is already
well in the pipeline and will be solved with the next version of QGIS.

We could make a common gui toolkit library with customized front-ends/
skins for each digitizing task, or one digitizer to bind them all as
Michael suggested?

I have never used the ortho photo modules, so I'm not really sure how
compatible the needs are. I agree that it is silly to have a dozen
duplicate digitizing modules.
