After some more work, the "synctex" branch now supports inverse search
using SyncTeX as well. Synchronization is activated by double-clicking
the page.

For this to be really useful, you have to set two variables in
"~/.config/qpdfview/qpdfview.conf" in the "[documentView]" section:

highlightDuration=5000

This set the duration of the temporary highlights in microseconds,
e.g. the default 5000 are 5 seconds.

synchronizeProgram=gedit \"%1\" +%2:%3

This has not default and is the program that is called to synchronize
you editor of choice. In this string, %1 is replaced by the absolute
path of the TeX file, %2 is line number and %3 is the column number.
(Of course, you can just leave out %3 if you don't need it. SyncTeX
does not really support it yet anyway.)

Happy testing. Best regards, Adam.

P.S.: If the feedback is positive and this is included, all of this
will of course be documented and the settings be made available in the
setings dialog.
