Well, I plan to make KShisen share the tilesets and background used in 
the updated KMahjongg, as soon as it is finished, and add the canvas 
updates and cacheing as well.
Actually, KShisen is in good shape, it is already scalable, and the 
Tileset class is very similar to the one in KMahjongg, so this should be 
relatively straight forward to implement in a couple of days. I just 
need to finish the KMahjongg implementation first, test and improve it, 
and then it will be relatively easy to apply the final results to KShisen.
There are few open items in bugzilla (wishes) as well, and they will be 
solved by this graphics update. Anyway, I will definately work a bit on 
it in the near future. Maybe David should continue to maintain it (if he 
wants to?) I can assist him as co-maintainer or something like that 
during this transition period to KDE 4.
