IMO, the problem is, at least as far as i can see from gwenview and 
kipi-plugins the lack of contribution. And since we received mails 
in kipi ml in which someone asked for a more easy to contribute 
gui design (e.g. using ui files) I believe it is a thing to take
in account. I mean I had programmed in win 3.11 by hands, and I
saw the difference using visual as you said, I believe I can use
QT from scratch, but using a designer that it's more user friendly
can save time, and time, as you know it's important more than ever
if you're using your spare one to contribute ;)

Well if you take that code from kuickshow i doubt, it should be 2 colors
B&W indeed.

I saw it and nothing should change there, the code has to be studied
to make a change like that, but as i did for this patch I could for others.
The problem is i finished my holidays... and so spare time has to be fitted
in kipi and gwenview as well, not say mandriva ;)

You're right, since i saw there was a maintainer for print stuff i didn't
want to have a contact here :) I'll do it in future
