Just committed a new layout of the KGr level-selection widgets,
using a spinbox (as Parker suggested) and a vertical QScrollbar.
This is not entirely satisfactory, because it works in the opposite
direction to the spinbox.  I tried a QSlider (the code is still in
kgrdialog.cpp, commented out), but I found it to be too inconspicuous
and too hard to hit with the mouse.  And it did not seem to "belong"
with the thumbnail image.

What I would *really* like is something like one of the sliders in
http://qwt.sourceforge.net/controlscreenshots.html
which come with numbered scales and a choice of grooves and
handles, but I hesitate to introduce a whole new library (QWt),
into KDE Games just to get a nice slider.  Any ideas, anybody?
