Both KSVG from KDE3 and QSvgRenderer (the engine used in Svgpart) have
trouble rendering complex images. I didn't do any serious comparison
though, so I can't tell you which engine is better. The definitive solution
is webkit, think of Svgpart as an interim one.

On the UI side, Svgpart is a bit nicer than the KSVG part: it does not
provide buttons to display debug info and more importantly, it lets the
user scroll the view (The KSVG part did not provide any scrollbar)
