We need to talk about this during the mobile sprint :) The conclusions  
that are coming out from qt-components are showing that it's not worth  
it the bindings of the *widgets* (the other stuff I'm sure it's worth  
it - also to enable 'QML plasmoids'). Writing a QML version of our  
widgets would be easier and faster, and we would "just" need a bridge  
between them and our theming stuff. Anyway, we can talk more about  
this on IRC and at the sprint :)

Yep, Kontact Mobile solved this issues providing a bridge between the  
i18n() functions and also for the KIcon loading. It would be nice to  
reuse code. Otherwise it would be simple to do the same thing.

Cheers!
