Tim is working on such decorations, Tim, aren't you?
Indeed I am so standbye on that one. First I want to get the new plugin / snippet / user map etc site running and then I will go back to working on that. In my rework, all 'decoration plugins' will become 'widget plugins' that will be accessed from a widget bar and dropped onto the map. They will work in the same way as Marco's annotations where they can be place map relative or canvas relative (in fact they will derive from the annotation code). Thats the plan anyway but I dont have exact timings yet. By the way - copyright plugin was also one of the first C++ plugins ever written so it has some history in QGIS too :-P @Paolo: indeed I was thinking to replace quick print with easy print when I suggested removing it.
