With all respect, QML 2 is miles away from being usable as a desktop
application!
I know since i'm trying very very hard to get there hence my recent
blog posts to make the clipboard available in QML and the application
wide shortcuts. One last thing that isn't there yet is a menu for the
right mouse button. And just implementing it on the application scene
won't work since the RMB window has to be able to go outside the area
of the application. A RMB probably has to be a top level "widget".

I'm guessing Qt5 won't be ready for full fledged desktop application -
as you would expect a desktop application - before Qt 5.2 or perhaps
even 5.3.

Aaron, do you have any news regarding that DirModel of yours and Marco
that is threaded? I would be very interested in using that one + it
saves me quite some time to make it myself :)

Cheers,
Mark
