Yes, I understand. But, maybe, we can add to methods to the existing dialog
class which gives the cards as QImages back and maybe add a constructor which
opens the advanced dialog which can also handle formats like the REKO
format. That means, programs only mus be changed if they want to use the advanced
dialog with e.g. REKO format support.

It's not direct a aversion, :-) but I think the first way is a cleaner way
and its easier to use for "normal" users. But, if most people on the list
think the second, conversion to separate images, way is better or the first way
is not possible for compatibility reasons, I can also write a conversion
program. But I see no reason to add this converison program to the KDE game
module. I think it can be done outside the KDE CVS.
