yup, there were problems indeed in the bindings.

there was a problem indeed for the move methods of rectangled, I've fixed them 
now.

the paint parameters works like ones of painter.drawPixmap
so you have:
void paintFrame(QPainter *painter, const QRectF &target,
                                    const QRectF &source = QRectF());
this is what you were using and is useful only if you want to draw only a 
portion of the frame (that's what is happening)
now, I've fixed the behviour to behave -exactly- like qpainter::drawPixmap in 
the case there is a single qrect paramenter (the second is facultative), that 
should give the intended results now.


void paintFrame(QPainter *painter, const QPointF &pos = QPointF(0, 0));
this in the one you need 99% of the times, it just paints the whole frame in 
the position you want

the plasmoid now has a proper output and paints correctly.
both in trunk and 4.6 branch
