I am not sure what to do with this wish and patch...
Let me try to do a summary of the current behaviour:
- In the icon view, the Arrow keys go to the left, right, up or down,   
  respectively
- In the icon view, PageUp/PageDown go to the previous or next image.

  According to the discussion summarized in
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141730#c6
  the conclusion of an IRC discussion was:
   - PageDown/PageUp should do what they say ;-) 
   - In Preview mode: PageDown/CursorRight and PageUp/CursorLeft 
     should go to the previous/next item.

So this would mean to make things consistent and apply Aron's patch #c7 .
However, a point we should take into account is Fabiens remark that
"""Usually, arrows are used to pan inside an image or document (image size
bigger than display size) and pageup/pagedown are used to move to the next
image/document...""".
Note, that currently arrows do not work to pan inside an image.
((One could of course use arrows for panning when the image is not fitting,
and arrows to go to the previous/next image, when it fits.
However I am not sure what useability experts will say on this ... ;-)).
