Sure we do. But as a general rule a feature should be need by more than
user to make sense in a library. Same is true of kdelibs, of course.

I suggest that you start hacking on the widget in your app, collect
feedback and let it "ripe" for a while. After it has reached a stable and
useful state bring up the suggestion for an inclusion in kdelibs again.
This gives you more freedom and ensures that something good comes out of
it.
