Just did that and pushed the changes. Code snippet how to use:
QDBusMessage msg = QDBusMessage::createMethodCall("org.kde.kwin", "/TabBox", 
"org.kde.kwin", "openEmbedded");
QList<QVariant> vars;
vars.append(QVariant::fromValue<qulonglong>(winId()));
vars.append(QVariant::fromValue<QPoint>(QPoint(100, 100)));
vars.append(QVariant::fromValue<QSize>(QSize(1000, 150)));
vars.append(QVariant::fromValue<int>(Qt::AlignLeft));
vars.append(QVariant::fromValue<int>(Qt::AlignBottom));
msg.setArguments(vars);
QDBusConnection::sessionBus().call(msg);

This creates the TabBox embedded with a size of 1000x150 aligned to the bottom 
left corner with an offset of 100/100. This means moving/resizing the window 
will result in TabBox moving as well. So just one DBus call required. Please 
delay the call till the window is shown.

Now only the sticky window is missing.
