I have a problem, I wonder if I'm hitting a bug. It seems as if insertIntoCache(key, QImage()) does not do anything when it is called from ~Mandelbrot(). The expected behavior was to remove the image corresponding to 'key' from the cache.
I have really checked that the key is correct and that isUsingDiskCache() returns true. Looking at the source code in wallpaper.cpp, I can't see anything else to check... When I used to call insertIntoCache(key, QImage()) from a slot connected to a QTimer, it did work. So there seems to be something specific to calling it from the destructor.
