maybe this kwelcomescreen might even work for ksudoku. having 3-4 buttons for 
the mostly used games (entering your own puzzle from e.g. a newspaper will be 
treated as separate games) and one button for selecting a game which is not 
on this list. that button would then open a popup. but this might result in a 
popup of a popup (or even more popups, never tried the new kgetnewstuff) for 
downloading new games or configuring a game :(

this also requires that i finish my implementation of the new svg-based view. 
a kwelcomescreen on a plain background don't look good. and in front of the 
current view implementation it will make it even more obvious how ugly it is.

but this has to wait for a week or two, as i started on reimplementing the 
core engine (sorry francesco). the current engine has far too much special 
cases which are reflected in the API and make trouble everywhere even in 
implementing a new view.

cheers, Josel
