Kompare does not process user input until the entire source text has been
retrieved.  The UI updates but other messages are blocked.  The window manager
interprets it as a hang.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Tell Kompare to compare two large files lying on a remote HTTP server.
  2.  Tell the window manager to close Kompare.

Actual Results:  
  1. A download notification in the system tray.
  2. The window manager recognises that Kompare has stopped responding and
offers the operator to close it by force.

Expected Results:  
  2. Let Kompare abandon the current input tasks and quit.
