thanks rich, that's a great idea =) so our items can subclass Widget and we 
can 'just' use setProperty on the Qt ones to accomplish the same thing.. as 
long as the QLayout grabs the value via qproperties, it'll work. obviously 
not as fast, but i doubt it'll have significant impact... and, of course, 
this will speed up in 4.1 when this stuff moves lower into qt itself.
