Probably won't make it into 0.4, because personally I think I do not need
it. would be nice to have anyway. so if you wanna code ;)

I'm quite happy with the zoomed out view, click image twice, watch "auto fine tune"
and "auto estimate", press right mouse button.

I just added something similar:
shift + mouse movement, or shift + cursor keys -> scroll both windows
ctrl + mouse movement, or cursor keys -> scroll single window

With the right mouse button. Or the "a" key (just added to cvs ;)

Hmm, if you find some good color calibration for linux laptops, please let me
know, got a similar problem.

I just added a short keyboard shortcut reference as well ;)
