Hi Martin,
I'm developing a plugin to convert a QGIS project into a pMapper (a 
MapServer php framework) one, on the base of Gary Sherman's mapserver 
export plugin.
What I wanted to do is to automatically generate also the reference 
image of the map; anyway I solved the problem in a different way, using 
this example:

http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/PythonBindings#head-237ebb60a713326152d7faa016dafb2f9797ac7d

So I converted the map canvas into a png and resized it.
While I'm here, I'd like to ask to you if some of the tickets I added to 
the QGIS trac (#1060-#1069 except #1068 and #1064, #1077, #1078) could 
have any chance to be implemented;
I think #1066, #1069 and #1077 in particular coul be useful to many 
people that use QGIS.

Thanks for the support,
Paolo
