Glad it does the job for you - I've been very impressed with the
progress digikam's made over the past year or so. It's now pretty AND
useful - nice combination!
I gave up on trying to keep my system KDE and Gnome free a while back.
It took a lot of packages to install all the support infrastructure
but in the end not too much actual disk space. It certainly opens up
the list of available applications massively.
