dropping remote content vol.2

[Sebastian Kügler]

I've been hacking on dropping URLs onto Plasma again, and although I got a bit 
further, I'm running into problems still. Let me first explain the concept:

- Something is dropped onto Plasma
- we don't understand its mimetype since it's remote content
- we open a QMenu stating "fetching mimetype" or similar
- the dropEvent and the QMenu are stored in a QHash, indexed by a TransferJob 
  that's started to retrieve the mimetype
- We catch the signal mimeType(KJob*, QString)
- We get the dropEvent associated with this "drop" using dropEvent[job]
  (We need this for the coordinates to create the applet at)
- We get the QMenu associated using dropMenu[job]
  (We want to recycle this QMenu, clear it and insert our choices so the user 
  can pick an applet to load)
- Profit. Wait, no profit yet. :/

While the mechanism works fine for the dropEvent, it looks like the QMenu 
vanishes somehow, dropMenu[job] returns a null-pointer. I assume the QMenu is 
taking a break and going on a long vacation there somewhere.

I'm a bit puzzled by this, can anyone enlighten me?


Dirty, dirty patch attached. Feedback is of course welcome.
