Me, too. One ruler to rule them all, one guide to guide us all! Btw, when
working on guides, it would be nice to be able to have diagonal guides,
I think. Krita's guides suck mightily and besides, there's no way to snap
to them, so Krita should adopt these KOffice-wide guides, too. I agree with
the guide drag too, too.
