Review request for KDE Base Apps, KDE Accessibility, kdewin, Plasma, Patric=
k Spendrin, and Peter Penz.


Description
-------

Add Windows 7 tab thumbnails feature to dolphin.
Mostly based on the example from <http://nicug.blogspot.com/2011/03/windows=
-7-taskbar-extensions-in-qt-tab.html>.

An icon representation is used instead of actual thumbnails ( please agree =
that those microscopic previews are not useful at all ;] ). Changing an ico=
n when url changes is also easier than checking all the time whether someth=
ing inside the window has been changed. Using icons is a lot more KDE-ish a=
nd therefore more beautiful and user-friendly than the default Windows beha=
vior ;).

"win7utils.h" and "win7utils.cpp" are from <https://github.com/xfreebird/bl=
ogstuff/tree/master/qt/thumbnailtabs_example1> with few adaptations.

Testing
-------

Tested using MSVC 2010 32 bit, in a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

May need testing:
- Compiling under mingw-w32 and mingw-w64
- Using Windows Vista or below to ensure there are no side-efects on a box =
without this feature.
- Using Windows 8 (I don't know much about its bugs^H^H^H^Hfeatures ;] )

Known problems:
- There is no way to know if KTabBar got a tab reordered, so the "thumbnail=
s" won't be reordered, but their reference is still correct
- Undefined behavior when dolphin gets unresponsive [e.g.: because of a def=
ective kioslave], most of the code assume dolphin is okay [e.g.: QPixmap::g=
rabWidget won't work in a frozen window]. =



Screenshots

Tabs!
