One sort-of related note, you will likely run into a whole lot more
trouble with the video player plasmoid than you would expect.  Phonon
cannot render video on a qgraphicsitem, or even on a
qgraphicsproxywidget, due to some of the trickery it involves.  In
amarok we ended up doing ugly hacks much like the systray does in
order to get video to work.
