sorry.. forgot to add:
there was an initiative before lucid i guess.. to give ubuntu a simple photo
manager, i.e. the "Simple" equivalent to Simple Scan..
* anybody have a link to the blueprint?

and now there's this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-desktop-for-app-developers
i see something about a "Simple integrated graphics editor".. perhaps that's
a thread to follow in this respect..

greetings
