Oh yes, now I remember :(
You are right, we use the QPicture internal format in the store, because the
WMF support is currently for loading only, not for writing.
Well, this sounds stupid, we could simply save the original WMF data....
the only problem is that it means storing it in addition to the QPicture.
Currently we only keep the QPicture in memory, from which we can't find
the WMF back...... However if using a normal image format is more important
than the memory loss, I guess we could store the WMF data in memory besides
the QPicture, and save that to the store.

I wonder if libwmf2 will help about this... Shaheed ?
