I agree. We need to have two different widget sets, one for desktop and another one for mobile. The desktop widgets would basically mimic the old QWidget behavior regarding styling and common properties; it would have good integration with any platform if using internally the QStyle machinery (maybe with some improvements? :)). Also, we would need to provide real layout, with minimumSize and maximumSize properties, for the desktop widget set or add this support in QML. The mobile components, on the other side, need some tradeoffs. At this time, I think it's a bit utopic to think over a common API that integrates well on any mobile platform without workarounds, and I'm just considering Symbian and Meego. A good way to go would be to choose one platform to be the official one or create a trolltech official's one. I think, with that move, the design team of other platforms would try to think in flows that is compliant with the official API. BTW, Symbian design seems more and more similar to the Meego design.
