Well - there are surely good reasons to design this as a plain QT 
program but i wonder if this is really what people would prefer.  Most 
Unix users who use POV-Ray will run a fairly modern Linux distribution 
and will be able to use a KDE program - no matter if KDE is their DE or 
not.  They will probably be hardly interested in compiling either QT or KDE.

And making this a KDE program could also have advantages for you as the 
programmer - you could use the standard KDE editor component (Kate) and 
would not need to worry about syntax highlighting, indention etc...

But that's just my personal and very biased opinion of course and an 
important argument for staying with plain QT is surely the much better 
portability.

I think you misunderstood me - right now they are displayed at a fixed 
position that is not very nice - displaying the image in a toolbar would 
enable the user to move this somewhere he likes it best.
