Yeah, not a problem for fixed size icons - but here its not useful.

because of a QMovie design error restarting is trivial. it simple reparses 
everything. thats the reason why it is slow in khtml. Although if it doesn't 
get a buffered source it will simple reload it from disk and we gain 
nothing. hmm. 

it would have the advantage to get rid of the Qmovie pointer in *item 
though.
