O.K. now I see. But as far as I see, this is not implemented yet, also
KisTilecache is not implemented.
Dirty probably means, if a tile is modified or not, so that krita
knows if a tile has to be repainted or not. But what does valid then
mean.
There are also lock(), lockAsync() which I don't really
understand. The code is commented out so it does not seem
necessary. But what is the intention? Is it possible that a tile is
accessed by more then one thread? Or did you just include this just in
case?

Rereading the code this morning, I think I have a basic understanding
of KisMediator and KisTileMgr now. But why are you doing reference
counting in KisMediator? I thought this is already handled by the
KSharedPtr (which is actually really nice, no more delete[]!)

O.K., I have to read KisImage, KisDoc etc. Unfortunately this is a lot
of code.

As far as I understand this now, KisGuide is doing the actual
rendering to the screen, isn't it? I have to look at the code.
Cheers,
