I got this installed but this is about like GIMP.  It takes a while to 
load and is somewhat complicated to me, although it looks really nice.  
It took about 30 seconds just to open the brightness/contrast tool.  The 
app took about a minute or two which is about like GIMP.

Anything simpler than this?  The old Kview, I think that was the name, 
opens in just a few seconds and was really easy to use.  It was simple 
and fast.

In case someone else runs up on this, it pulls in a lot of dependencies 
too.  I use kde-meta and it still pulled in several other packages.  If 
you don't like GIMP, this is worth looking into.

I have days where I just want to keep using KDE3.  :/
