btw, something that i think would be Really, Really Cool(tm):

* iterate over all the published Q_PROPERTIES of the Containment object 
wrapped by the Activity Javascript object and export those for 
setting/getting.

* iterate over all the published Q_PROPERTIES of the Wallpaper object, which 
isn't wrapped at all right now, and export those as a Javascript object for 
similar set/get

this would allow Containment and Wallpaper plugins to expose API to the 
scripting environment in a safe manner without the scripting environment 
having to know about these extensions in advance. it would allow, for 
instance, for things like:

containment.wallpaperPlugin = 'mandelbrot'
containment.wallpaper.quality = 'High'

i don't know if i'll have the time/energy to do this for 4.5. probably not. it 
wouldn't be too hard to do, though, and would be a nice add.
