 Ok, I see Kuickshow uses Imlib1 and either there's a difference between the 
two versions or Kuickshow doesn't bother using smoothing. From trying the 
imlib2_view testapp it seems it can smoothscale much better than Qt , but I 
don't feel like digging in Imlib2. It'd be nice if you could post your code 
somewhere.
