 o AFAIK here are no plans for effect or sound support in digikam.
 o Further everything that in kipi-plugins can be used by several
   applications.
 o why a kipi wrapper or other kde magic even konqueror should make
   use of kipi-plugins via service menu.  konqueror -> service menu
   -> kipi imageviewer/slideshow would be cool ;) AFAIR you have a stand alone
   version, but one that can handle every kipi-plugins would be
   better ;)

All that said. KDE still lacks a cool slideprogram, with effect and
sounds (and maybe vidio support too).   Would be nice to have 3
interfaces: a widget, for easy use inside prgram (so they ca use
their image caches etc. The kipi-version and a standalone one.
Using code von existing apps is okay, especially when it's
transformed to a library that can then be used by the orig app
and the new app.  After all KDE strength is build on it's framework ;)
