ah .. right. hm. paintInterface doesn't have the widget. paintWidget does, 
however. blah! i remember why i did that too: to avoid people from using the 
widget and doing unplasma things in their widgets.

i'll add it to the Containment::StyleOption however (a ptr to the 
Plasma::View) and then it will work.

the layout probably just needs to be invalidated. indeed, it doesn't do that 
in the set margins call. you can call invalidate() manually. i don't know how 
fixable that will be given that the margins are set in LayoutItem and the 
invalidation is in Layout. *shrug*
