yes the guides flicker in krita also, this is what I meant by adding to the 
widgets this morning.

Or actually, it's removing in this case, the guide widget tries do everything 
itself instead of letting the underlying widget do the work.  Not only does 
this produce flicker, but the pixmaps that it is using can get to be quite 
large when zooming out.

In any case, back to rulers, if every other koffice application uses KoRuler 
then so will Krita.
