No, that's a different matter. If the imageformat plugins are located at the 
right place, Qt will load them during the construction of QFileSystemModel. 
In that case, they will remain loaded, even after the destruction of qApp. 
And they will also keep QtGui4.dll and QtCore4.dll loaded, beyond the 
destruction of qApp.

At the moment we don't install the plugins at the end user's machine. 
Therefor they won't be bothered.

Kind regards, Niels
