Try to move an ikon just a little bit on the desktop... :)

Seriously, I don't like the desktop widgets or the general
look/feel of KDE4, so I stick to KDE3.5x. But in my OpenSuse
installation I can have the underlying KDE4 libraries and
apps, running them mostly without big problems. Only hickups
I've experienced is when quiting some of the KDE4 apps, it
is eventually more related to the system being a 64bit.

So maybe you can run Digikam 0.10 in an otherwise KDE3.5
environment?

Sounds you could be fast approaching the limits of direct
filemanager-based user-interaction scheme, most growing
businesses do in the end.
