There is a timer to compress selection signals in DigikamView, so you are 
quite right, DigikamView::slotDispatchImageSelected is called in the event 
loop after the context menu event has been received.
If this worked before, there was a good solution; if it never worked, we need 
to think about a new solution. Anyone has an old version, maybe 0.10 installed 
to quickly test?
