Apparently it isn't "just" working. I was missing a "QML_IMPORT_PATH"
environment variable. Once i set that to the imports it worked.
However, if i run it through QtCreator (just a QML file with no project
behind it) then QtCreator still doesn't see it.. Right now i "work around"
this by making a project and setting the "importPaths" variable in the
<project>.qmlproject, but does anyone know the environment variable i need
to edit for the default import paths? Odly enough QtCreator doesn't seem to
look at QML_IMPORT_PATH ...
Thanx.

</div>make sure the proper import path is set in the qml runtime.<br>
ie if you are using this from plasma you <blink>***M U S T***</blink> \
use<br> Plasma::DeclarativeWidget<br>
<br>
if you are doing tests with qmlviewer, add the command line parameter<br>
-I /usr/lib/kde4/imports<br>
<br>
(or whatever prefix kde is installed instead of /usr)<br>

</div>plasma components are now in runtime master (whether leavng them in for 4.8 \
is<br> another question, but i would)<br>
