Could it be that auto-saving makes kphotoalbum not respond? When
(auto-)saving the gui stops responding for a while (about 20-30s on my 7k
image DB). Try disabling auto-save and see if you can reproduce it.

While thinking about this another issue comes to my mind: when you have a
very huge DB and a busy system it might happen that saving takes several
minutes. What if saving takes longer than the auto-save intervall? Could
this be an issue Jesper?
