solved the cpu issue (it needs a cached pixmap, otherwise calls scene::render 
too often) and added anohter one (ok, i'll stop :p)

one thing that should still be done (and don't want to do it, at least one 
thing;) is to show wallpaper thumbnails: and they should just be a thumbnail 
contained in the package (no, live previews are too costly in terms of pretty 
much everything)
