Btw, as for signal-slot connections to and from graphics items, this is also 
something we are researching. Although I don't know how far we'll go, my 
dream is to have a new macro similar to Q_OBJECT that allows graphics widgets 
to be moc'ed, and then modify moc to generate light-weight super-fast s-s 
connections between items, and also from items to QObjects.

It's a dream, but I _think_ it's doable.
