technically, all panels are widgets already - but I'm guessing that's not what 
you mean.

go look at trunk/playground/base/plasma/containments/groupingdesktop/ for a 
different approach.

basically, instead of trying to make containments recursive (which makes other 
parts of plasma much trickier), you can make a containment with a better 
layout strategy, using graphicswidgets (and you can put graphicswidgets in 
graphicswidgets as much as you like).
