From http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10502

QuoteThe designer also allows you to inherit forms visually. For
example, a base form can be created for all of an application's
dialogs. Descendants can be created visually that inherit from this
dialog. No extra source code is required. Even embedding a form into
another form as a subcomponent can be done visually.
I'm pleasantly surprised VFI is... implemented? According to the
roadmap work is still in progress, with a post 1.0 target.

So, what's its status right now. It is safe to start some serious work
with this feature, or is that asking for problems?

refer to the wiki for solving problems, but in many cases it's not up
to date. And perhaps roadmap is one that's not up to date.

I don't know. But I remember having options to create a new form that
inherits another. Try New Form menu.

Yes, that's rather trivial. But how about stability, risk of future
regressions , etc.

It still has some problems but they are not very serious.
