How well does it work with QPixmap and QImage, ie will a data copy be
required to marshall the image into and out of Imlib's internal image
format? Sorry, I don't have much experience with it. Kimgio is required to
do stuff like load icons, backgrounds etc and it may be a handicap if
stuff has to be copied around more than is necessary, especially for
larger images. 

I'd love to hear more about this; I've heard more than one person say that
they were working on an imlib wrapper but I haven't seen anything so far.
