I suggested the possiblity of using QGraphicsView for the context
browser around 6 months ago, when I was working with it heavily on my
thesis project. I began to implement a standalone prototype, but that
has lagged behind.

I'd still be very interested in giving this a shot. When trunk is a
little more stable and usable I'll give it a proper attempt.
