+Gwenview - http://gwenview.sourceforge.net
+
+
+
+-> What is it ?
+
+Gwenview is a simple image viewer for KDE. It features a folder tree window
+and a file list window to provide easy navigation in your file hierarchy.
+Image loading is done by Qt library, so it supports all image formats your
+Qt installation supports.
+
+
+-> Requirements
+
+KDE 3.1 or more.
+
+
+-> Installation
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+If configure fails to find your Qt or KDE libs, you will have to type
+ 'export KDEDIR=/path/to/kde'
+and
+ 'export QTDIR=/path/to/Qt/lib'
+
+
+-> Uninstallation
+
+ make uninstall
+
+
+-> Tips concerning docked windows
+
+Docked windows are great, but they take a little time to get
+accustomed to. Here comes a few tips that you might find handy.
+
+- While dragging a window, press Esc to cancel the drag.
+
+- After undocking a window, if you want to dock it back, don't drag it
+with the title bar, it won't dock. Drag the little horizontal grip
+below the title bar instead. You may also click on the small arrow in
+the top right corner, this will get it back to its previous docked place.
+
+- If you closed a window you can get it back using the "Window" menu.
+
+- To dock window A on an edge of window B, drag the grip of A to the wanted
+edge. To make A and B use tabs, drag the grip of A on the center of B.
+
+
+-> Mouse operations
+
+You can browse through your image using the Opera-like previous-next mouse
+navigation: Keep the left mouse button down and click on the right button to
+go to the next image. Keep the right mouse button down and click on the left
+button to go to the previous one.
+Thanks to Michael Spanier for sending me a patch which started this new feature.
+
+You can also scroll your image by holding the left mouse button down and
+moving the mouse around.
+
+Middle mouse will toggle the auto zoom on and off.
+
+By default, the mouse wheel will either scroll the image vertically or go to
+previous/next image. This can be configured in the configure dialog.
+
+Use Shift + mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
+
+Use Ctrl + mouse wheel to scroll the image horizontally.
