You can do something like the following on top of the extension:

  module Qt2
    class QObject
      def setProperties hash
        for k,v in hash
	  prop = k.to_s
	  send "set#{prop[0..0].upcase}#{prop[1..-1]}", v
        end
      end
      alias config setProperties
    end
  end


Example code:

  action = QAction.new win, name

  action.config :menuText => "Window",
    :statusTip => "Creates a new workspace window",
    :toolTip => "Create new main window",
    :accel => (CTRL+Key_N)


This is what I do for Qt2.
	  
BTW, I like this thread very much :)
