[KimDaBa] Reducing memory consumption

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I'm afraid that I can't apply this patch.
I need to detach otherwise there might be a race condition between the two 
threads for the reference counter for the QImage.
I changed the code so it will detach right after putting the image in the 
ImageEvent, this will hopefully resolve the issue, and will ensure that the 
image is not copied an extra time when taken out of the event in the GUI 
code.

Please CVS up, and let me know if the change result in any crashes in the 
image loading code.

I'd rather not spent to much more time on this issue, as it will be resolved 
in Qt4 where the race condition is resolved in Qt internally.

Cheeers
Jesper.
