np; it's how f/oss (should) works, right? :)

well, QGraphicsObject is new in Qt 4.6, so it's not surprising you hadn't 
noticed it yet. how did i find out? i kind of cheated: we scheduled a 
presentation by one of the QGraphicsView hackers at Tokamak III that was all 
about new features in Qt 4.6 that we'd want to use in Plasma. this was one of 
the new features raised in the presentation. neat tidbit: replacing ": public 
QObject, public QGraphicsItem" with ": public QGraphicsObject" is even binary 
compatible! very cool :)

and yeah, the style option thing is a nice little thing too... prevents having 
to do your own bookkeeping if you only care about it in the paint event.
