[kde-edu]: New export filters for Kig

Great! :-)

Is the patch currently working on svn head? Could you please sent it to me?
(Just for testing porposes.) Or better, could you commit it?

Yes, I have this problem too. Epscially the generic curves are wrong.
But this problem arises too in the latex-pspicture code.
Maybe I'll have a look at these problems later.

Ok, thanks. I'm not familiar with the structure of the KDE project.
I think I'll have a patch ready in, say a week ot two.
(Little time to work on this right now.)
