Do you really think this should be criterion whether apps are included in the 
base packages or not? I think enough users would use such an application if 
the graphics package would contain it.

Yes, I know it is a huge application, but as powerfull as huge.

I have nothing against a new package if you think the kdegraphics package is 
too big. As long as it gets the same support as inside kdegraphics and it is 
still released with kde.

But I still think it is a great enrichment for the kdegraphics package.
