Yeah, seems to work really well. One thing just came to my mind: Should
we then change the KCardDialog API to only work with svg files and
completely hide that these are raster images api-wise, just have a flag
in the .desktop file to indicate so and show it in the gui as well via
the existing "filtering" methods? Or should I just use the cardDir() and
add "cards-default.svg" to that?
