Since i did most of this stuff i should attend the meeting as well =)
Good for me is between 20.00- 24.00 GMT+1, today for instance would be  
good.

The layout recreation is a workaround since the QGraphicsGridLayout  
doesn't remove the items properly.
I think Aaron and Marco agreed on this workaround an we will have to keep  
it that way until it's fixed in QT.
