Better inline image scrolling

Better inline image scrolling

[Brice Waegenire]

Scrolling of inline images in org-mode is cumbersome, especially when
you have several of it in sequence, on a small screen. For example
when you are in a buffer after a image, not visible at the moment, and
you scroll up with either the C-p or your mouse wheel, it get
displayed entirely instead of bit by bit, from it's bottom to it's
top.

Could it be possible to display images as several lines, instead of a
unique one, with insert-sliced-image
(http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Showing-Images.html)
like emacs-ipython-notebook
(https://github.com/tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook) do when (setq
ein:slice-image t) is set?

I asked about this on emacs.stackexchange 
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/10354/smooth-mouse-scroll-for-inline-images
It seems there is no native support for this in emacs :-/ 

I've tried a a lot of scroll options with no success. Eventually I turned off inline images and set them to open in eye of gnome (as it's good with refreshing images upon changes on disk). 
 '(org-file-apps
   (quote
    ((auto-mode . emacs) 
     ...
     ("\\.png\\'" . "eog \"%s\""))))

Making (displayed) inline images use multiple lines sounds like a great idea.

Just to be overly clear: you are saying that it is a great idea add
the sliced-image utilization Org-Mode using
existing EMACS functionality for sliced images?
