the UI related API can be divided (roughly) into three bits:

* the classes in kdelibs/plasma/widgets/ being loaded via the QObject bridging 
provided by QtScript. we should have those widgets available from QML.

* bindings for the QGraphicsLayout classes. those are unneeded in QML.

* QPainter and related; we don't need any of that since there is no direct 
painting in QML. the bindings for QRectF, QPoint, QColor, etc may or may not 
be of use, but are small and would be nice to have if QML doesn't already 
provide for nice programmatic access to things like colors.

all the rest of the JS bindings, which are mostly about things other than GUI, 
ought to be in there.
