More specifically: pasting into other applications /only/ works with the first mimeData->setImage() approach. I was not able to paste into any application when saving data as "PNG" and set MIME to "image/png" so far.

And I forgot to mention that this is again on Windows XP, Qt 4.7.1 (binary MinGW distribution).
