There's no resizing at all. The PanelView is now a QWidget, wich contains a 
Plasma::View as a child widget. The child is just moved away inside the 
PanelView on panel hide while the PanelView stays where it is and the rest of 
the Widget is masked out. So there's no problem with running into other 
screens as well.
