You could try setting konqueror as the default app for image mimetypes, as an 
experiment to try it out. But for some unknown reason KDE does not come 
configured that way. But it's actually quite nice, konqueror is fast loading 
- much faster than kview - and can even support write operations to files 
using service menus.
