[KPhotoAlbum] Improved Image Viewer? [PATCH]

[Jason Kivlighn]

So, here's a rough patch I've thrown together.  Here's what it does:

   * Adds a thumbnail slider along the bottom of the view.  Selecting a
thumbnail shows it in the display.
   * Automatically selects all photos in the current context if zero or one
photos are selected
   * Moves the info box off of the photo and into the bottom right corner
   * Info box and thumbnail slider can be hidden

I don't expect the patch to be in a form to be accepted -- I'm just asking
for feedback on what you guys think of the viewer working in this manner.
If you like it, I can clean it up, make whether or not to show the slider a
setting, etc.  FYI, the slider widget isn't my own, but was taken from
Digikam, modified to load photos using KPA methods.  It serves exactly the
purpose I was looking for, so I don't see a reason to re-invent the wheel.

Also attached is a simple screenshot.

Cheers,
Jason Kivlighn
