Well, that's the short version, of course. But life is a little more 
complicated. We've got the image projection that needs to be updated, and 
preferably kept updated. We've got the blobs on top of the projects (guides, 
grids, masks). We've got OpenGL and plain QPainter -- and need to keep both 
possibilities. Currently, the widget that displays the projection doesn't 
even know it's got a projection.
