that strange, in the source code (you can take a look atkde-
runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/core/dialog.cpp )
there are 2 different code paths for qgraphicswidgets and qdeclarativeitems, 
there could be a bug there, but iirc i'm already ising normal 
qdeclaraticeitems elsewhere (note that they have to have a width and height 
set before being setted in the dialog, or the dialog could remain with 0,0 
size)
