[Qt-qml] Application usable area dimensions

[simon.turvey at nokia.com]

Cool. That'll work. Thanks.

Still might be useful to have more readily available though. A bit like orientation is available through the 'runtime' property when using the QML viewer.

If you have access to the QDeclarativeEngine, you can get that information very easily by importing the QDesktopWidget from QApplication into the qml root context, e.g. :

	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	QDeclarativeView view;
	view.engine()->rootContext()->setContextProperty( "desktop", app.desktop() );

and then in your qml file e.g. :

	Rectangle {
		width: desktop.width; height: desktop.height
	}

Cheers,
Romain
