Carsten, I'm CCing you too, because of the help offer, and the ask for advice at the bottom.

IMHO, extragear is fine for kuickshow, maybe even better. Remember that K3B or Amarok are great KDE applications, and are in extragear. The reason is simply that for whatever reasons, their release schedule is different from the rest of KDE modules.
For an application that is feature complete, or close to feature complete it makes a lot of sense because there will be fewer releases, so fewer changes to users, and less work to everyone. Also, if a bug is found, you can do a quick bugfix release, and don't have to wait for the next KDE x.y.z update.

I'm a little busy this days, but I will have holidays in a week and a half. I can do a package or other work in kuickshow then, if nobody does it before me.
However, I think that first Carsten should give us an 'OK' first, or other kind of advice. The kuickshow websites (on sourceforge, and on developer.kde.org/~pfeiffer) are very outdated, so I don't know for sure if there is a released version for KDE 4.
Also, the output of "kuickshow --version" in the kdegraphics 3 package returns "KuickShow: 0.8.13", while the KDE 4 port returns "KuickShow: 0.8.7".
There are other minor things that can be changed, and that I can fix myself (or other person with little KDE knowledge) if Carsten allows us to do so. For example, the toolbar is completely full due to the change in trunk that makes "text alongside icons" the default. Some actions should be removed because don't belong to a toolbar, like "About" or "Setup".
So in summary: Carsten, if you need/want help on updating the kuickshow web sites, creating packages, doing beta-testing, or doing Junior Jobs in the source, please tell us (at least me). There are several KuickShow fans in this mailinglist. :-)
