doh!

seeing as this was written before not only QML but also QGraphicsObject, i 
suppose it's no big surprise. at one point it did work (for a poor deifnition 
of "work") with QGraphicsItems, but we dropped that after the annoyances kept 
mounting around that approach.

ah well ... one day Qt will settle down, become boring again and we won't be 
hit in the head by a new train barreling down the tracks every 8 months ;)

i guess this needs to be added to the libplasma2 page?
