i think its pretty platform-generic. anyways, i'm not proponing actually
embedding plasma into amarok, but more like taking the general theme concept
from plasma and applying it to our contextview. so it would still be
a QGraphicsView at heart with SVG rendering used to make widgets. and
AFAIK thats totally portable as we would be using generic Qt classes
e.g. QPainter, QSvgRender, etc.
