Do you think these are solvable?
Do you have an idea where the issues are or how to attack them?
I can completely see that making things fast is quite a different skill from 
making a paint app.

I'll trust your judgment on that and I do recall that there are several 
concepts in krita that don't mix all that well with koffice-libs. Softpointers 
and typedefs for example.
Maybe it would be a great idea to have a couple of days of pair programming 
to flush these inconsistencies out. I volunteer to be the one that brings in 
the koffice-libs knowledge.
