Ah, brilliant suggestion as always. This actually works. Just pushed a change
to my git repo. So, I will try merging to webkit now.

Since, the code is very different from the embed container code, I am thinking
we will add this as a separate file PluginCompositedQt.[cpp|h]. This also makes
it easy to ifdef out the whole thing. To start with, we can make
PluginComposited a WebCore Widget but in the long run, I guess we can remove it
too. In fact, we should be able to reuse (in theory) the windowless event
dispatching and the composited mode event dispatching. I have to check if
refactoring that portion is worth the lesser readability though.
