	<p>Benoit posted a patch to kfm-devel:</p>

	<quote who="Benoit Walter">

		<p>I have tried to improve the painting of thumbnails during preview
			generation.  The problem of overlapped icons has been partially
			adressed by updating the iconview every 500ms (kfileivi.cc
			revision 1.250). This does not really solve the problem because
			the display remains ugly while generating preview during 500ms.
			With the following patch, the icon view is updated when a new
			thumbnail has been generated, but only if the update is needed (in
			most cases once for each row). Otherwise, the icon is moved. This
			avoids having a messy icon layout during generation of
			thumbnails.</p>

		<p>Possible improvement: Update the view less frequently when the
			generated thumbnail is not visible.</p>

		<p>This solution is not yet perfect and it would be great if someone
			could try the patch and give some comments.</p>

	</quote>

	<p>Later he posted even more improved version, fixing few bugs and asking
		for review, which was done by Luís (as far as i understood his reply).
		His comment <quote who="Luís Pedro Coelho">Wow, this works
			wonderfully.</quote> looked approving to me, yet quick search on
		kde-cvs mailing-list indicates it was not commited. Maybe i just
		overlooked it...</p>
