You should wait. This has been worked on, and there will be an
official solution how to do this soon. You can ask around #qt-maemo on
irc if you need more info. Just make a QWidget that works and soon
you'll be able to slap it on home screen.

Unofficial solutions exist, but they are not complete (e.g. don't
appear in "Add widgets" menu).

There is no mature way to do all of this yet w/ QtMobility , but it's
a work in progress.
