Sounds good! I don't have any experience with kmplot, so I don't know how good 
it is at drawing labels. Your algorithm seems to make sense, only you have 
the experience to tell how well/fast it does the job. Really, if you think 
it's good enough for kdeeduplot, then go ahead: I can't deny I'm short on 
time and don't want to duplicae something that has already been done in KDE!
So just tell me what you decide. On the other hand, if you don't do it, then I 
might be better off implementing my own algorithm rather than trying to 
extract the relevant part of your code.
