Missing upper-right corner means that KPA thinks the file is not
available on the disk. Check the permissions for this file (and all
directories above). Also have a look at the index.xml file in the
top-level directory where you store your images and check if the file
paths herein match.

Don't install anything, just make sure you have USE=exif set. Please
refer to the Gentoo Handbook for details.

Don't install anything, but make sure your Qt3 is built with the
"sqlite" use flag.

I haven't bothered to setup these thumbnails, but some people say that
adding something like "mplayer-thumbnails" helps.

One of KPA developers is a Gentoo developer as well :)
