[KPhotoAlbum] Page-Up and Page-Down in the description widget of the annotation dialog

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Tobias,

The missing pgdn and pgup has also annoyed me for ever, and I agree with your 
analysis that the missing pgup/pgdn in the text edit itself will annoy very 
few people (if any at all, and it should be obvious fast what is going on). So 
I've pulled the change. 

Cheers
