Not a direct answer to your question, but it may help you in your goal
of becoming more familiar with the code. Why don't you try to port
F-Spot to KDE? K-Spot, maybe? :)

I'd beta test for you. F-Spot is the only Gnome app I use and I have a
LOT of redundant libraries that I could be rid of if F-Spot were Qt-
or KDE-based.
