should be fine; URLs could be associated with the thumbnails as well ...

i wonder if this is best left to the item that the tooltip is shown for, e.g. 
the tasks widget? or do we _always_ want raise/iconify/etc to occur when there 
are one of these tooltips shown?

i'd prefer not; destructive actions on "magical" gestures aren't a great idea. 
perhaps one more argument to leave this up to the tooltip'd widget?

yes; at least optionally. again, this is perhaps best left up to the host 
widget? if so, we'll need hovered() as well as clicked() signals for the 
previews

probably just use the same "button glow" used in the plasma buttons?

yes

will this fit nicely? look nice? could we do it with QToolTips on the 
previews?
