For a "grid view" of thumbnails, you could use a Plasma::TreeView,
which despite its name, can behave exactly like a table. For an
example of this, see
http://code.google.com/p/socket-sentry/wiki/GuidedTour. (Apologies in
advance for the shameless plug.) In your case, you might use just the
Qt::DecorationRole to supply only image data in your cells. Or perhaps
take a look at the part of the Qt Model/View programming guide that
talks about QAbstractItemDelegate, which is a way to provide custom
rendering of cells in this kind of view. The guide is at
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/model-view-programming.html.

Another completely different approach would be to use a a
QGraphicsGridLayout with Plasma::IconWidgets or another similar widget
for each cell.

Good luck.
