If you run KDE you can try in clone this repo:
http://gitorious.org/porpoise/master It's a file browser based on the
KDE libraries with the GUI fully created in QML. Obviously _far_ from
finished, but you will get the general idea when running it.

It's Qt 4.8 at the moment, but after playing with Qt 5 and it's
awesome particle i might upgrade it there and add some cool effects :)

So perhaps that might be an interesting community demonstration case?
