It has been ported to KDE-4 (version 0.9.1).  I installed it from SVN 
(in extragear) and it works for me but others have reported issues with 
their video driver (this may be an ImLib problem).  Actually, I 
sometimes have issues with the Z order of images and something that 
should be behind the image window is in front of it -- this may actually 
be a Plasma bug since they are Plasma popup windows.  IAC, this should 
not be considered to be a stable package yet, but people seem to want it.
