A very minor glitch: invoking the light-table  the first time
(or after emptying the light-table),
the "Forward" and "Last" buttons are not activated.


Another thing (which wasn't there in one of the earlier versions, I think):
- zoom in a bit
- ``un-synchronize'' the preview
-  move one of the panel to the correct place,
   such that in both panels the object
   of interest is centered
- then activate synchronization again
- zooming in/out or panning in one panel leads
  a jump in  the other.


Well, this is of course what synchronization says, but
I think it would be better if it behaves the following way:
- if synchronization is turned on again,
  the two panels keep the relative offset.

  Reason: if the object of interest (or view, or photographer)
  moved slightly from one shot to the next,  it is still possible 
  to compare the images.
- What todo about different zoom-levels:  
  if, in the unsynchronized situation the zoom is changed, switching
  synchronization on, leads to the smaller (or larger, does not
  really matter I think) zoom value  for both.

There is one technical problem with
keeping an offset, namely, what
should one do when during panning
the edge of one of the images is reached.
Presumably the simplest is to just
stop (in both panels) in this case.

P.S.: watching the progress of the light-table is
better than many movies - every `svn up` gives new features! ;-)
