New Mandelbrot wallpaper in playground, triggers some bugs

Hi,

I just committed an initial version of my Mandelbrot wallpaper plugin
(only 360 LOC) there:

/trunk/playground/base/plasma/wallpapers/

commit message:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/wallpapers/?view=log&pathrev=857241

You'll need a recent checkout of /trunk/kdesupport/eigen2. For now, a
SSE2 CPU is required, but that requirement will quickly go away.

I'd like to point out that it seems to trigger a few plasma bugs --
although of course it might just be me misusing libplasma.

1) In the Ctrl+F12 "dashboard view" it renders fine without glitches.
But outside of dashboard, on the actual desktop, there are huge
repaint glitches (many damaged areas). Perhaps I should add that I
have desktop effects disabled. But

2) In the "desktop settings" dialog, the little preview isn't getting
mouse events.

Cheers,
Benoit
