Let's say: KoPicture is the car and QPicture is one of its engines. ;-)

No, seriously, KWord/KPresenter 1.1 uses QPicture. If someone loads an old 
document with some of it, we need to use KoPictureClipart, which is 
QPicture-based. KoPicture is the black box around it, KoPictureClipart is the 
class that does the work inside the black box.

All other formats (QImage-based, EPS, SVG, WMF) can be converted, as we know  
them. But QPicture's format has no doc (except code) and we have at least two 
sub formats to support (QT 2.2 and Qt 3.)

Perhaps it is just annoying and not really a problem, but we must take care of 
it, somehow.
