recent amarok breakages and containment positioning behaviour

Hi all,
last time amarok uupdated their plasma copy they can't do anymore the zoomed 
out 4x4 grid, so the four containments appear on a single line, rather broken.
the prolem appears to be the fact they were positioning containments by hand, 
and ContainmentPrivate::positionContainment() overrides all manual positioning 
that's done.
that would be rather goood, but the problem is that it puts containments in a 
grid with 4 columns with 4 being hardcoded, and that's less pretty.
so what could be done?
a solution could be a way to set the max number of columns (something to be 
put in corona maybe?) or having a way to override the positioning, like not 
calling positioncontainment when is a custom containment, but that's not 
really nice.
or, well, leaving it as is and just say t them that's liking or not it's this 
way now, but i think really their use made come out a very ugly limitation, so 
a fix would be nice...

Cheers,
Marco Martin
