Wow. I really like the idea. IIRC this widget is private to amarok, i.e. it 
doesn't exist in kdelibs, yes? Btw, haven't seen it in dolphin.
Wait. You mean the one in the status bar? Or the one which reports an errors 
in amarok (the yellow one)? :-)

Thinking a bit more about it - maybe we can write some QGraphicsItem for 
showing highscores which behaves like that amarok thingie?
Ah, and KGameCanvas variant should be written too.

yup, that's a nice solution. I think I saw this in kbattleship :)

Hehe. Not sure what "bang on" means exactly, but I think I got you right ;-)

Cheers,
