   #ifdef QT_HAVE_MAX_IMAGE_SIZE
	    //
	     QSize max_size = QImage::maxImageSize();
	     if (max_size.width() > 0 && max_size.width() < (int) li.width()) {
	       max_size.setWidth(li.width());
	      QImage::setMaxImageSize(max_size);
	     }
	     if (max_size.height() > 0 && max_size.height() < (int) li.height()) {
	       max_size.setHeight(li.height());
	       QImage::setMaxImageSize(max_size);
	     }
   #endif

I thought about it some more.  This code must come out, no two ways
about it.  The version in imageloader.cpp doesn't know the actual size
of the image; it only knows the desired size for e. g. thumbnail
purposes.  So there's no way this can work.  What's more, it means
that a binary built on a SUSE system can't be used anywhere else, due
to the incompatible symbols used.

This should simply be documented, until SUSE (hopefully) removes it
altogether.
