Hmn, sure there is _some_ flicker but I did not see this as a problem
until you told me about. I'm going to try to improve on this.

Please update, I have fixed this, you seem to use a quite old version.
By the way, the Windows/* modules did not work for me (speak: did not
have any
visible effect) so I disabled them for the time being. Perhaps this was
a mistake.
I'm going to look into that. Or perhaps you have some time to
investigate?
I'd like to move on to implementing the new kicker applet layout code
next week,
as I want kapplet.h stable in time for our lib freeze.

Same as above. I have fixed the about page. It even did look cool until
qt-copy
was updated with beta3...now QTextBrowser has problems with my tables.
I'm
going to fix this.
