Yes, layouting and a lot of other things that are not working well  
with qgw. Alexis did a really amazing job on this when he was working  
with QML but this is no longer maintained and keeping the hope that  
it's going to work is just "false hope" unfortunately :(.

The problem with creating qdi based ones is that we can suffer of the  
proxy->proxy problem. The KDE-pim guys tried this and it just made  
things worse. To properly do this you almost have to duplicate what  
qgraphicsproxywidget does. So, it's really easier to just change the  
way we do widgets. It has been some months now that we tried different  
approaches and going a step back will allow us to go two further later,

This may be needed, but I thought that svg was supported on qml already...
