   Snapshot? Are you a snapshot user?

First observations:

1) Sometimes while scrolling the thumbnails repaint twice (flicker).

2) Build thumbnails locks up.  The two threads are:

It looks like the problem is that ImageManager::customEvent() locks
the image manager while calling back to the client.  The client
(thumbnailbuilder in this case) calls ImageManager::instance()->load,
which of course tries to take the mutex.  This fix takes care of it,
by doing the callback after the lock has been cleared.
