[KPhotoAlbum] Smooth scrolling

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Greetings,

First of all, thanks for supplying patches, I truly appreciate it.

The patch is rather complicated in a rather complex part of KPA. I'm afraid 
that applying this patch might just result in lot of headache down the road 
when maintaining this class.

I see two solutions I'd like you to consider:

1) scroll half an image row at a time. If this is possible, but it ought to 
be: You can figure out the height of a row and the scroll this distance.

2) If the above fails, then please move the code into a separate class of 
which only one instance is created (namely the one from ThumbnailWidget). This 
class would encaptiual all the logic of the scrolling.

Cheers
Jesper.
