Hi Anne-Marie

Here is the first patch i made for showdashboard in order to use this 
implementation.
Can someone apply the patch if it is ok ?
I will provide patch for other plasmoid later.

I'm waiting for Marco to adapt the code and use 
Plasma::ConstrainedSquare later (what do you think about that name instead
KeepIntoSquare ?

Thanks and cheers !

cc to the contributors of the show dashboard plasmoid,
according to what we said in the thread the idea is to provide a common 
simple way to implement constraints stuff in all icon based plasmoid.
