[QGIS-Developer] QgsDockWidget does not seem to work with loadUiType

[Denis Rouzaud]

Well, I think using pyuic is the only way at the moment to use
QgsDockWidget as top widget.
But for any other case, using uic.loadUiType is eaiser since there no
Python path to deal with when using pyuic.

Cheers,
Denis
