[Digikam-devel] New icon view

[Andi Clemens]

I can confirm, seems to be some race-condition.
If you switch to another album, no image is actually selected. Look at the 
edit action in the toolbar for example, it is disabled.
When you just rightclick on an item, it becomes selected (edit action in 
toolbar is active now), but somehow the context menu has already been created.
Right-clicking the item again "fixes" the menu.
The ContextMenuHelper normally removed disabled actions, to avoid an even 
bigger contextmenu. This is why some actions are not displayed.

The actions are enabled in DigikamApp::slotImageSelected(), but the slot seems 
to be called slightly after the contextmenu is created.

I guess we had this problem also before the ModelView port, but since I always 
click first on an item, I've never seen it.
