You can remote control konqueror quite well:

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/automation/index.html

but the problem here is to determine which instance of konqueror you 
want to use - if there are 20 windows open that's not so easy...

Well - putting the complete docs into the readme does not make that much 
sense...

Writing a short README would of course be a good idea.

But when should the thumbnail be created?  Doing so for a large image 
can take some time - esp. if the image is stored on a volume with slow 
access.  Would you rather wait longer after the render or when calling 
the info mode?

Might be that those only work in KDE 3.4.

The library path settings are determined from a POV-Ray test run.  The 
problem here is that include files in the same directory are not linked 
- that should be changed of course.
