is not super pretty but yes, a wallpaper plugin receives mouse events,
so you can from there manually send them over the scene where you
render the wallpaper image with qml, and it should just work.

in plasma2 it would just be items positioned under the items in the
containment, so if nobody in the containment eats them, they will end
up to the wallpaper items.
