Ok, I'll try to change the current code over weekend to use QPixmap
again. One problem is that rotating can't be done in a thread then,
because accessing a QPixmap from a thread != gui thread isn't possible.

But maybe we can convert the pixmap to an image in gui thread, rotate
the image in worker thread and convert it back to pixmap in gui thread
again...

Ciao,
Tobias
