probably doesn't work since when windowpreview is a proxywidget doesn't have a 
read window id anymore: the window preview mechanism works by setting an Atom 
on the actual X11 window that asks for a preview of a particular window to be 
drawn at cerain coordinates by the compositor.

the nearest thing to what you need is the old windowstrip plasmoid that lives 
in plasma-mobile repository
