I figured I'd add a little to this since I'm working on similiar stuff right 
now.

Your all right, rotation will convert to an image no matter if you use QImage 
or K(Pixmap/Image)Effect. You can use XRenderTransform, here is a good 
example, although it's old and for Qt3:

It focuses on Composite and toplevel windows but shows a lot of relevant 
stuff. But that sure would be messy way to rotate something :P

You might have a better time using QGraphicsView and QGraphicsItem, which I am 
just beginning to explore and learn the wonders of :)
