The difficultes I met last time are:
1. Floating window support is missing. (I need something like Plasma's
tooltip, but control by me, Plasma.Dialog have some extra feature I
don't need and doesn't seems work well.)
2. Resize the window to fit the content seems break....(Resizing a
widget dynamically is always nightmare... I'm using quite a lot code
to make sure it works correctly)

Other small problem might be.. I need text readability very much, so
I'm using drawHalo (Just like in tooltip) under in my custom text
widget.
