Wow! That is really some awesome help. Thanx a lot.
I'm gonna do some more hacking tonight ;)

I already have the loading of a QML file working (very easy and not through
Plasma::Package yet) and it just loads a very basic QML file with a red
background and no window borders so that is all just fine. One thing i do
have what shouldn't be there is the taskbar entry. I do have the
flag setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint) on the QDeclarativeView object
which is removing the decorations, but i can't find the flag to get rid of
the taskbar entry. I haven't searched for it thoroughly yet, but if someone
knows that flag...? ;)
