The question was if Krita would rather be seen as a stanalone app, too.
IMHO it has a GUI too complex to be used as a "component", say a clipart
in a KWord document.
Then again, I would also like to see shared bitmap editing and vector
editing without being constrained to "application level" components.
Say a vector editor framework which can be used internally by KPresenter
and Karbon, and mybe Kivio,
and an basic image editing framework which could be used by e.g. Karbon.
This basic framework could work like e.g. the stuff in OpenOffice - simple
tools, simple filters, simple pixel based.
A tile based image editor is overkill if all I want to to is to put a
200x200 pixel black-and-white clipart in a KWord document...

Dirk
