Just a heads up in case you missed it with the other news coming out
of the Maemo summit. For Maemo 6/Harmattan Nokia has developed whats
essentially a whole gui toolkit built on QGV designed to work well
with thumb ui's and hardware acceleration. So its unlikely you'd want
to use it directly in plasma (and certainly not in its current tech
preview state).

But it has some interesting stuff like animated layouts. So it might
be worth looking at it and taking code or ideas from.

Looks like they're using gitorious as a glorified tar ball server.

Clone and then qmake && make doc to check it out.
