    Simplify code.

    For instance, when we downloadViewerFrames() we should copy the current
    pixmap to the cache dir. We should be able to eliminate a method or two.
    Since downloadViewerFrames() is already expensive as it is writing a cache
    pixmap is nothing. It also means our image viewer will always be up to date
    for all images, currently we are only up to date with the selected image
    type, which sucks.
    
    There has to be a cleaner way to do most of what makes SolSeeK, this is a
    result of me teaching myself C++ by looking at other  peoples code and trying
    to create my own. Hey, at least it works ;p.
    
    Lets think KDE4 and Plasma. I haven't even touched this stuff yet, but will
    soon. Oh yeah, KPixmapIO is gone so we'll prolly have to rely on Qt's 
    convertToPixmap() or something. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
    
    Think vertical! Should we support multiple images at once?
    
    Lets find a way to subtract just good ole' Sol out of the source images. 
    Something to the effect of Karamba would be interesting. Also, we could see
    if the KStars guys would be interested in rendering an current image of the
    Sun in there star charts.
    
    Look for some feed for solar flare alerts, and implemet some cool features 
    around it.
    
    Make SolSeeK an all around solar observing tool, not just an applet. What 
    kind of features do we need to add for that?
    
    The gallery tool needs to also function as a time lapse gallery tool as
    well. i.e. Show progression of a sunspot in continuum.
    
    Provide DCOP interface so we can script the gallery tool.
    
    Maybe a dialog with current solar conditions would be nice.
