hello...

bug # notes what several others have observed: why is there both an image and 
a picture preview option? looking at the code, one does svg and the other one 
is more general. from the perspective of the user this doesn't make much 
sense at all. attached is a patch that merges the two thumbnail generators 
into one. 

a slightly different approach than that taken in the patch is to try and 
figure out the mimetype of the file with a call to KMimeType if the approach 
the patch takes is deemed too processor intensive and only run the qpicture 
load if it is an image/svg+xml ... i do wonder why the mimetype info isn't 
passed in to the ThumbCreator since it is known, though.. oh well =)
