Well, that still leaves me the question: how does one add Plasma::PushButton
and other Plasma widgets from Javascript.  Currently, the only objects
instantiated
from Javascript examples have a wrapper class here:

trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/script/qtgui/*

Does somebody need to write a wrapper class for the Plasma widgets or
is this already done somewhere?
