That sounds cool and useful.  But yeah, some kind of limit would be a 
GoodThing(tm) and long as it's a limit on multiple images displayed and not on 
multiple images selected.  Perhaps you could do it as a function of screen 
size (i.e. as the screen gets larger, so does the maximum number of images 
displayed)?

Requires enough skills to know where to look!  <laughter>

OK, here's what I came up with.  gwenbrowse.desktop is attached.  Add to 
CMakeLists.txt the following:
install(FILES gwenbrowse.desktop
	DESTINATION ${SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR}/ServiceMenus )

Or can you list multiple files on the "install(" line?  In which case I guess 
it would just be a matter of changing
install(FILES slideshow.desktop
to
install(FILES slideshow.desktop gwenbrowse.desktop

It doesn't address translation, I realize.  How does one deal with that if one 
doesn't read a couple of dozen languages?  As I said, I'm not a developer-type 
being, so I'm pretty clueless about how the bits all fit together.

<pout> again.  Any chance you could push *that* upstream too?

MR. BROOKS:  Objection.  That question should be taken out and shot.
