I have implemented support for keyboard navigation.

I don't know how to implement full-screen viewing smoothly. I did it in 
LaternaMagica with a trick which works (actually, one time out of 
thousand when browsing many images it breaks, but I was never able to 
reproduce it clearly and debug it), but I don't know how to port it to 
GSPdf which is a document-based application.
A normal window can't be made full-screen, I need to create a new one by 
code, I don't know how to make this interact with the document 
controller etc. Under LM, which is single-window, I materially 
instantiate another window and "switch" the image view back and forth by 
reparenting. In GSPdf in full-screen you most certianly don't want all 
the controls, so perhaps a parallel, second view is needed, but how to 
get that work with the document based skeleton I don't know.

Anyway a bit of improvement it is and a reason for a 2012 release too :) 
But it needs to wait for a gui release because it has the dpi fix.
