Sorry, the wrong bug was closed. I meant #55657 instead of #59377

Have a nice day!

CVS commit by goutte: 

Disable generation of the "other office" thumbnails.

The reasons are between many problems:
- Konqueror tries to generate every thumbnail at the same time, which for
  filters is critical, as it can use too much computer-power.
- Konqueror tries and re-tries to have a thumbnail, even if the filter has
  failed.
- The KOffice filters have not a "batch mode" yet, so dialogs can show up.
- The thumbnail generation might trigger bugs in the filters, which
  might end to any possible problems. (And Konquy tries then again...)
