I saw that. It does not work properly with a simple QStringListModel and the 
View still feels out of place. The latter is because a delegate only styles 
items, it misses the background and frame. That is why I think extending the 
Plasma style is the best option.

Of course. But if view widgets were exported from kdelibs, they could use the 
private extended style.

It is always possible :)

You could call it a mockup. The two widgets to the left are actually 
folderviews. For each profile I created a .desktop link. The Qt one includes 
Assistant, Designer and Creator links.

That is the idea. A grid or tree view widget with a custom delegate would be 
great as well.
