I suggest you to wait... every ad-hoc solution would be refactored again
after release of the new Legend architecture.
Actual design is really limited... the new one will use all the potential
of Qt legend items customization.
One of the Martin's work will be moving legend to gui library allowing
programmatically (e.g using plugins) add new item visualization modes
In this moment of the process, as stated by Martin, we're collecting all
the "default" visualization features that legend should have.

I don't know if you know that exist Dockable Mirror Map plugin that add
this functionality to Qgis... new legend interface will be designed to
allow different rendering/styling for each available canvas.

se you, Luigi Pirelli
