I'll take your word for it... I am graphics blind. I would have thought
that after the paint program, gimp was enough. Or that if a second paint
program was needed then is Mypaint good enough? I'm talking like an
accountant and as such should mostly be ignored.

That was my first comment... The user was quick to agree :-)  I didn't
realize it pulled in koffice stuff too, but I guess kde tries to integrate
everything so any doc can be used in any other (sigh, is it a feature or a
pita)

If it makes it to Debian we just request sync pretty much... However that
is not a decision I can make. I would guess 13.04 for an eta as people
seem to have more time in the winter months.
