You're running into the same problem I did when I first played with 
iPhoto -- overthinking. To get saved images into iPhoto, just drag them 
into the library window. That's it!

At present, I have to say that iPhoto has by far the nicest options for 
slideshows, but for my "web" and desktop picture (wallpaper) 
collections, I actually use a completely different program: gBrowser, 
which is available from Macupdate.com or versiontracker.com.

I tend to leave iPhoto for just my digital photos, and let gbrowser 
handle my day-to-day web images/graphics/etc.

There are also TONS of other such programs out there.

Right.

If you want all the photos to be in the "drawer," then use the mouse to 
select all the photos, THEN double-click one.

Well that depends on you and what you're comfortable with. Try a few 
different image browser/manager programs and see what works best for 
you.
