I like this idea. Seriously, I think the context view needs a way 
of "automatically" managing the contained widgets, without all the 
user-interaction. The concept of the widgets is nice for desktops/panels that 
you configure once, but the amarok context- view should be much more dynamic.

It should just show me in a useful way what information there currently 
is(wiki, lyrics, visualization, ...), and if I click one of them, it should 
put that information into the context view, doing whatever is needed to make 
it fit. For example removing another widget that takes too much space, 
scrolling somewhere else, or whatever.
