After some trying around I realize that dropping QRect in (e.g.) the KigPainter class cannot be done easily.  In particular one should
understand the "overlay" concept... If I remember, at least in the early stages of kig development, overlays where used in order to
allow for efficent redrawing of the graphic primitives.  I am not even sure that this is still used now!  This was taken from the kgeo
project when first starting kig.  If I place an "assert (false)" in "circleOverlayRecurse", then kig crashes... however I don't see the
need of using overlays for drawing circles if we use a Qt primitive for doing that.
