Brilliant, thanks Tim you are doing some fantastic work.

I think OpenClipart.org users will be very interested to hear about the
next release of Karbon thanks to the work you have done improving SVG

I still smile a little when I read the name "KHotNewStuff".

If you are looking for other ideas it would be very cool if Karbon had a

collect email addresses for you from any messages you have opened.

Thanks again for working on this.
