i tested this shortly.
this small sample here can write to QImage without QApplication, (uses  
QCoreApplication) and does not need QtGui

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QImage>
#include <QPainter>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
    QImage image(200, 200, QImage::Format_ARGB32);
    QPainter painter(&image);
    painter.drawText(100, 100, "Test");
    image.save("test.png");
    return 0;
}

with that and the code fro kdenlive for the titler, we sould be able  
to move the code into mlt.
this should let us create then also scrolling titles. (zooming,  
scrolling ...)
