The container widget is a Plasma::Applet, and Applets in Applets = bad and troubles, so it is a nice toy but it is a temporary solution prone to problems. Containment in applet instead, is simply impossible. Plasma::Containment needs a Corona to work, and to provide a Corona you must embed a QGraphicsView in your applet. But Qt will protest because a QGraphicsView can't visualize itself, cause it is in the same scene it should show. Showing in a Plasma::Dialog doesn't change the thing Believe me, i've tried and tried for months to do what you want, and realized that GroupingDesktop is the only right way.
