This open up the QR import screen capture window, move it over a QR code and click the snap button. The client may time out a bit while it scans the blockchain for the key. The address does not show up immediately.
You can create QR codes to test this on by going to the following site to create a private key.

The mobile wallet already has an import QR function using the build in camera, so nothing is planned here, as it is easy to take a picture of the qr code and import it.
For the Linux versions, we need to backport to QT4 and then we can implement the feature.
