In KDE 2.2.2 it's:
- - the load time (it converts from QImage to QPixmap to QImage to QPixmap ... 
and then you finally get to see it)
- - the resizing makes problems sometimes (e.g. switching to fullscreen and 
back)

KDE 3:
- - same as above
- - resizing is even worse (sometimes unpredictable - sometimes the images are 
scaled to fit the screen (even if they shouldn't) and sometimes they keep 
there original size.)
- - The zooming functionality doesn't do what it says.

- - The code isn't very clean. Try to understand what happens when you load an 
image ;) (I know what it does, and I don't like it.)

What I'm doing now:
- - Use the KDE Component technology as far as I can.
- - Make it possible to write plugins (e.g. the scan functionality could easily 
be written as a plugin)
