At the moment there's no direct way to do that (I mean, no specific feature),
so you have to use a text frame...

Yes, very much so. There's an image collection, and when you delete
the image it doesn't get removed from the collection since it's still in
the undo/redo history.
Somehow we need to distinguish the new image as a different one.
Simon: I guess this is the reason for the timestamp stuff in KPresenter.....
Do you see a way to fix this ?

> Wat's the difference between a picture frame and an picture inline?
inline means it's part of the text, like a big character.
"frame" should be "non-inline" now, since both are frames anyway.
non-inline means you can move it freely, it's independent from any text.
We decided we'll change the GUI to a single "insert picture" item and
some dialog box to choose between inline and not inline.....
