scaling images distorts image

[Mithat Konar]

When scaling down PNG (and possibly other) images, Midori appears to use a "nearest neighbor"-like scaling algorithm rather than a smoother interpolating method. This results in visibly distorted images. I am attaching a file with two screenshots of the same page being rendered in Midori and in Qupzilla (also WebKit-based). The difference in the quality of the "Save the Internet" image (a 960x960 PNG) is discernible.
