Why do you keep some member variables public? I think it's time to add those Get/Set-functions and hide them!

GetImageManager()->m_blabla ...

1) Bad design. Period!

2) It looks awful.

3) A Set-method makes it easier to debug variable assignments and a Get-method sure makes it a lot easier to track down where the variable is being used.

Member variables that cannot be subclassed should always be private and always accessed via the Get-function!
